Question 3

Why should I consider Fringes for my event? What experience do they bring?

Accepted Answer

If you're looking for background music, Fringes might not be your band. If you're looking for a performance that *means* something, you're in the right place. Hailing from Manipur, their music is a powerful narrative—a blend of Western rock and blues with Hindustani influences that tells the story of their region. As they state in their profile, their mission is to explore issues of marginality. This isn't just a concert; it's a cultural experience. They transform the space they're in, making the audience think and feel. It's music with depth, soul, and a compelling story.

Question 4

What makes Fringes stand out from other live bands?

Accepted Answer

Their backstory, for one. This isn't your typical group of full-time musicians. The band includes a doctor, a historian working as an archivist, a computer engineer, and a sound engineer. This incredible diversity of thought and experience bleeds directly into their music. They aren't just playing blues and rock; they're deconstructing and experimenting with it. Their performance is an intelligent, improvisational journey. You're not just hiring a [Live Band](https://starclinch.com/book-band-online); you're booking a collective of thinkers who use funk, jazz, and rock to tell compelling, untold stories. That's a rare find.

Question 5

What kind of sound can we expect? Is it pure blues?

Accepted Answer

Not at all, and that's the beauty of it. While their foundation is in the Western form of blues, Fringes uses that as a launchpad for experimentation. Their sound is a rich tapestry weaving in elements of **funk, jazz, and classic rock**. Think of the raw emotion of B.B. King meeting the intricate rhythms of Hindustani music, all driven by a rock and roll heartbeat. Their live performance is known for improvisation, so no two shows are exactly the same. They create a sound that is both familiar in its roots and completely fresh in its execution.

Question 6

Are Fringes suitable for something like a corporate event or is it more for festivals?

Accepted Answer

They are surprisingly versatile. For a festival or a campus show, their energetic rock and funk elements will absolutely get the crowd moving. But because their music is so layered and tells a story, they are also a fantastic choice for more thoughtful events. Imagine them at a corporate gala, a cultural festival, or an intimate private gathering where the audience appreciates artistry and substance. They don't just entertain; they engage the mind. They can tailor their set to fit the energy of the room, making them a smart booking for various event types.

Question 7

How much does it cost to book Fringes for a performance?

Accepted Answer

The price for booking Fringes can vary quite a bit. Their fees generally fall within the **₹20,000 - ₹50,000** range, but this isn't set in stone. The final cost depends on factors like the type of event, the location—travel costs are a thing—the length of the performance, and any specific technical requirements. The best way to get an exact figure is to fill out the inquiry form. That way, you can get a precise quote based on what *you* actually need for *your* event. No guesswork involved.

Question 8

Do Fringes perform original music or covers?

Accepted Answer

Fringes are focused on creating a unique musical narrative, which is deeply rooted in their original work. Their entire purpose is to tell the stories of their region and explore complex themes through their distinct blend of genres. While their music is influenced by legends like Led Zeppelin, B.B. King, and Deep Purple—as you can see from their individual bios—their performance is centered on their own compositions. This is what allows them to deliver such a personal and impactful experience, making them more than just a musical act, but true storytellers.
