Question 3

So, what's the unique vibe Riwaaz brings to an event?

Accepted Answer

Think about this: one moment your guests are swaying to a soulful Sufi melody, and the next they're headbanging to a classic rock anthem. That's Riwaaz. Their magic lies in that incredible range. As their profile mentions, their influences span from *A.R. Rahman to Metallica* and *Pink Floyd*. They aren't just a band that plays one style; they create a whole musical journey. Hailing from Chandigarh, they bring a polished yet powerful sound that can cater to a diverse audience, ensuring no one feels left out. They're perfect for events where you want the music to evolve with the evening's energy.

Question 4

What really makes Riwaaz stand out from other Bollywood or rock bands?

Accepted Answer

It's their refusal to be put in a box. Most bands stick to a lane—they're either a Sufi act, a Bollywood cover band, or a rock group. Riwaaz is all three, and they do it authentically. The band members—Yajur on vocals, Gurpreet on lead guitar, and the rest of the crew—have a genuine love for both classic rock legends and Bollywood classics. This isn't a gimmick; it's in their DNA. You can hear the respect for Led Zeppelin in a guitar solo, even during a Bollywood hit. That fusion is their signature, and honestly, it’s what gives their performance such a unique and unpredictable edge.

Question 5

What kind of events are Riwaaz best suited for?

Accepted Answer

Their versatility is their superpower here. Because they can shift gears from old classics and folk to high-octane rock, they fit into a wide array of events. I've seen them be a huge hit at:
- **Weddings & Sangeets:** Where they can start with soulful tunes for the family and ramp it up for the dance floor later.
- **College Festivals:** The crowd goes wild when they switch from a popular Bollywood track to a Guns n' Roses cover.
- **Corporate Galas:** They can provide a sophisticated backdrop with classics and then deliver an energetic set to close the night.
They read the room exceptionally well, tailoring their performance to match the audience's energy. It’s not a one-size-fits-all show.

Question 6

Can Riwaaz play specific song requests for my event?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, within reason. The band has a massive repertoire covering Bollywood, Sufi, rock, and classics, so there's a good chance your favorites are already on their list. For a very specific or personal song, it's best to discuss it with them well in advance. This gives them time to learn and arrange it to fit their unique style. When you **[Post your requirements](https://starclinch.com/book/category)**, make sure to mention any special requests.

Question 7

What is the typical price or fee range for booking Riwaaz?

Accepted Answer

The investment for booking Riwaaz generally falls between ₹20,000 and ₹50,000, but this is a ballpark figure. The final price can vary quite a bit based on a few key factors. Things like the event's location (travel and accommodation play a part), the duration of the performance, and the specific technical setup required all influence the final quote. For a precise and tailored fee structure for your event, the best approach is to fill out the inquiry form. You'll get a detailed quote with no hidden costs.

Question 8

What are the technical requirements for a Riwaaz performance?

Accepted Answer

As a full five-piece band, Riwaaz needs a professional sound setup to deliver their best performance. While a detailed technical rider will be provided upon inquiry, you should generally plan for a proper stage, a full PA system (speakers, mixers), individual monitors for each musician, and microphones for vocals and instruments like the drums. The quality of the sound setup directly impacts the audience's experience. Don't worry if this sounds complicated; their management and the StarClinch team will coordinate with your venue's technical crew to ensure everything is perfectly in place for the show.

Question 13

Why should I consider Riwaaz for my event? What unique value do they bring?

Accepted Answer

Because they aren't just stuck in one lane. Most bands are either "strictly Bollywood" or "strictly Rock," but Riwaaz sits comfortably in the chaotic, beautiful middle. Based out of Chandigarh, they bring that distinct North Indian energy but filter it through a lens of classic Rock n Roll.

Imagine the soulful depth of a Sufi classic transitioning into the grit of *Nirvana* or *Pearl Jam*. It’s a sonic journey. Whether it’s the raw energy of **Yajur Brar** on vocals or the rhythm section locked in by **Mohnish Sharma** on drums, they create an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and high-octane. They don't just play songs; they craft a mood.

Question 14

What makes Riwaaz stand out compared to others in their field?

Accepted Answer

It has to be their influences. Seriously, look at the list—it's wild. You've got *AR Rahman* and *Jal* sitting right next to *Lamb of God*, *Metallica*, and *Nine Inch Nails*.

That creates a very specific sound. **Gurpreet Singh Kakar** (Lead Guitar) and **Lokesh Dhillon** (Rhythm Guitar) aren't just strumming chords; they are blending heavy western riffs with Indian melodies. While many bands play covers note-for-note, Riwaaz injects a bit of that "alternative" edge into everything they touch. It’s perfect if you want a [Singer](https://starclinch.com/book-singer-online) and band combo that can headbang one minute and croon a ballad the next.

Question 15

What kind of budget should I set aside for booking Riwaaz?

Accepted Answer

To give you a ballpark, their performance fees generally range between **₹20,000 and ₹50,000**.

However—and this is a big however—the final number depends on a few things. Are you booking them for a local gig in Chandigarh, or do they need to travel to Delhi or Mumbai? Is it a quick 60-minute set or a full evening entertainment package? The best way to get an exact figure is to use the inquiry form so we can factor in travel, logistics, and the specific date.

Question 16

What genres can I expect them to cover during a performance?

Accepted Answer

They are officially categorized as a **LIVE BAND - Alternative, Bollywood, Rock, Rock n Roll**, which is quite a mouthful but accurate.

Expect a setlist that swings from: 
- **Old Classics & Sufi:** For those soulful, lighter moments. 
- **Bollywood:** High energy numbers to get the crowd moving. 
- **Rock & Metal:** Tributes to legends like *Pink Floyd*, *Guns n Roses*, and *Foo Fighters*.

It’s a mix that works surprisingly well for general audiences because there's something for the uncle who loves *The Beatles* and the cousin who loves *Arijit Singh*.

Question 17

Who are the specific members performing in the band?

Accepted Answer

Riwaaz is a five-piece powerhouse. It’s not just a singer with a backing track; it’s a full live arrangement.

- **Yajur Brar:** Lead Vocals & Guitar (The frontman)
- **Gurpreet Singh Kakar:** Lead Guitar (The shredder)
- **Lokesh Dhillon:** Rhythm Guitar & Backing Vocals (The backbone)
- **Sagnik Bhowmick:** Bass Guitar (The groove)
- **Mohnish Sharma:** Drums (The beat)

Having a full lineup like this ensures a richness in sound that smaller acts just can't replicate.

Question 18

What technical requirements does the band have?

Accepted Answer

Since they are a full 5-piece rock outfit, they can't just plug into a portable speaker. They need a proper sound setup to do justice to their sound.

Typically, this includes:
- A professional PA system suitable for the venue size.
- A drum kit (standard 5-piece usually).
- Guitar and Bass amplifiers.
- Stage monitors (so they can hear themselves).
- At least 3-4 microphones.

Don't worry about the jargon though; once you book, their tech rider will explain exactly what the sound engineer needs.

Question 19

Are they open to traveling for events outside of Chandigarh?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. While they are proudly based in the capital city of Haryana and Punjab, music travels!

They perform at various events across the region and beyond. If your event is outside Chandigarh, you'll just need to cover their travel and accommodation logistics. They are used to hitting the road to bring that blend of Folk and Rock to new audiences.

Question 20

What types of events are they best suited for?

Accepted Answer

Given their diverse range—from *Sufi* to *Bullet for my Valentine* influences—they are versatile.

- **College Fests:** The rock and alternative energy plays huge here.
- **Weddings/Sangeet:** The Bollywood and Folk repertoire fits perfectly.
- **Corporate Parties:** They can keep it classy with old classics or ramp it up for the after-party.
