Question 1

So, I'm digging Shepherd's sound! How do I actually book them for my event through StarClinch?

Accepted Answer

Awesome choice! Booking Shepherd is super easy. Just hit that GET IN TOUCH enquiry form you see on their StarClinch profile. That'll take you to a quick inquiry form where you can tell them all about your event – the date, venue, vibe, all that jazz. Once you submit that, it goes straight to Shepherd (or their manager). The real magic happens after that! You'll get access to the StarClinch dashboard, which is like your own little mission control. You can chat directly with the band, get custom quotes tailored to your needs, and confirm their availability. It’s all streamlined and keeps everything in one place – no more endless email chains! Plus, the dashboard makes keeping track of all your booking details a piece of cake.

Question 2

Why should I bother booking Shepherd *through* StarClinch? Can't I just, like, DM them on Instagram?

Accepted Answer

You *could* DM them, sure, but booking through StarClinch gives you a whole heap of advantages. Think of it like this: StarClinch is the bouncer at the door of awesome entertainment! We've handled over 20,000 bookings, so we know what we're doing. Plus, every artist profile, including Shepherd's, is verified. So, you know you're dealing with a legit band and not some fly-by-night operation. And the biggest perk? Secure payments! No more shady back-alley deals or hoping your money actually gets to the band. StarClinch uses secure payment gateways, so your money is safe and sound until Shepherd delivers their awesome metal/rock mayhem. It's peace of mind, basically. Plus, all your communication is tracked on the dashboard, which can be a lifesaver when you’re organizing a big event.

Question 3

Okay, I get they're good... but *why* Shepherd for *my* event? What makes them better than just hiring a DJ?

Accepted Answer

Well, hiring Shepherd isn't just getting music; it's getting an *experience*. They bring that raw, energetic, live band vibe that a DJ just can't replicate. Think about it: the energy of the crowd feeding off the band, the thrill of a powerful guitar riff cutting through the air, the collective head-banging… it's infectious! Shepherd, with their blend of sludge/heavy rock, metal, pop, and punk, offers a dynamic and unpredictable show that caters to a wide range of tastes. They can deliver a mosh-pit inducing set for the headbangers, then switch gears to something more melodic and accessible for everyone else. It's about creating a memorable, high-energy atmosphere that will leave your guests talking about your event for weeks to come. If you want something truly unique and unforgettable, Shepherd is your band.

Question 4

What's the secret sauce? What makes Shepherd stand out from all the other rock and metal bands out there?

Accepted Answer

Shepherd isn't just another band churning out riffs; they've cultivated a reputation for being a dynamic, ever-evolving heavy rock act. I think it comes down to a few things. First, their diverse influences – pulling from the hard-hitting sounds of early 90s hard rock (think Soundgarden and Eyehategod) and the raw energy of 80s hardcore punk (like Black Flag and Discharge) – creates a sound that's both familiar and fresh. Second, they’re not afraid to experiment and push boundaries. They've been described as 'unpredictable,' which means you're never quite sure what you're going to get, but you know it's going to be good. Finally, they've got serious street cred. They snagged the Rolling Stone Metal award for Best Emerging Act back in 2014, which speaks volumes about their talent and potential.

Question 5

I see they're influenced by 90s hard rock and 80s punk... but how does that actually *sound*?

Accepted Answer

Imagine the raw, sludgy riffs of Eyehategod colliding with the melodic sensibilities of Soundgarden, then injected with a shot of Black Flag's aggression. That's a pretty good starting point! Shepherd manages to blend those influences into something uniquely their own. You'll hear heavy, distorted guitars, powerful drums, and vocals that range from guttural growls to melodic harmonies. It's music that's both head-bangingly heavy and surprisingly catchy. They're not afraid to get their hands dirty with some serious sludge, but they also know how to write a memorable hook. Check out their music online to get a real feel for it - descriptions can only do so much!

Question 6

Where are Shepherd based out of?

Accepted Answer

Shepherd calls Bangalore, India – the IT capital – home. So, if you're planning an event in or around Bangalore, you're in luck! They're a local band with a global sound, ready to bring the metal to your event.

Question 7

I noticed Shepherd won a Rolling Stone Metal Award. When was that?

Accepted Answer

Yep, that's right! Shepherd clinched the Rolling Stone Metal Award for Best Emerging Act in 2014. That's a pretty significant feather in their cap, showcasing their early potential and the impact they were already making on the metal scene. It's a testament to their hard work and talent and shows they've been consistently delivering high-quality music for years.

Question 8

Who are the members of Shepherd?

Accepted Answer

The core of Shepherd is made up of three talented musicians: Michael on Bass/Vocals, Namit on Guitar/Vocals, and Deepak on Drums/Vocals. That tight-knit lineup is what gives Shepherd its unique, powerful sound. They each bring a unique element to the table and are a huge reason for the band's continued success!
