That's where you can manage your enquiry, chat directly with Summersalt (or their manager), hash out the details, and nail down the booking.

Question 3

What makes Summersalt special, like why should I even consider them for my event?

Accepted Answer

Okay, so Summersalt isn't just another band, they offer a really unique blend that's tough to find elsewhere. They call their music 'Trans-Fusion,' which is a pretty apt description. Think Khasi folk music meeting rock, with some funk-jazz thrown in for good measure. Seriously, where else are you gonna hear that? They're not just playing music, they're telling stories and raising questions about social issues in both English and Khasi. Plus, they incorporate traditional Khasi instruments, which adds this really cool, authentic layer to their sound. If you're looking to create a memorable event that's a bit different and really sparks conversation, Summersalt is a fantastic choice. They bring this awesome, cultural vibe that can really elevate the whole experience.

Question 4

What's Summersalt's music actually *like*? I need a better description.

Accepted Answer

Imagine this: You're sitting in the Khasi Hills, and the sounds of folk music are swirling around you. Then, a rock riff kicks in, followed by a groovy jazz bassline. That's kind of the Summersalt experience. They call it Trans-Fusion for a reason – it's a melting pot of genres. I personally think their blend of traditional Khasi instruments (like the duitara) with modern rock and jazz elements is what makes their music incredibly unique. Their sound is both familiar and totally fresh, and their lyrics are often thought-provoking, dealing with social commentary and cultural pride. If you want music that *moves* you, both physically and emotionally, then Summersalt is def worth checking out.

Question 5

How does Summersalt compare to other bands out there? What makes them stand out?

Accepted Answer

Well, lots of bands play folk or rock or whatever. But Summersalt's secret sauce is their Khasi heritage. They're not just playing music; they're sharing a culture. And they're doing it in a way that's accessible and engaging for a broad audience. Their use of traditional Khasi instruments gives their music a unique sonic signature you won't find anywhere else. Plus, the fact that they sing in both English and Khasi allows them to connect with a wider range of people. They've even caught the attention of big names like *The New York Times* and *GQ Magazine*, so they're clearly doing something right! If you're looking for a band that's not afraid to be different and that brings a truly unique cultural perspective to their music, Summersalt is in a league of their own.

Question 6

Does Summersalt travel for events? Are they willing to play outside of Shillong?

Accepted Answer

Yep! From what I gather, Summersalt is totally up for traveling. They specifically mentioned wanting to explore new places and experiment musically with their Khasi instruments in different settings. So, if you're based outside of Shillong, don't let that stop you from reaching out. They seem genuinely enthusiastic about bringing their 'Trans-Fusion' sound to new audiences and new environments. Just be sure to mention where your event is located when you fill out the enquiry form so they can factor in travel costs and logistics. They are willing to travel to new places, so don't hesitate to contact them!

Question 7

What kind of events is Summersalt best suited for? Would they be a good fit for my wedding?

Accepted Answer

That's a good question! Summersalt's versatility means they could work for a surprisingly wide range of events. Their music is upbeat and energetic enough for a college fest, but also sophisticated and culturally rich enough for a corporate event or even a wedding. The key is figuring out what kind of vibe you're going for. If you want something that's a bit different, a bit more meaningful, and that sparks conversation, they'd be a great fit. For a wedding, imagine them playing a set that blends traditional Khasi tunes with some more contemporary covers – it would be a really unique and memorable experience for your guests. It really depends on what you're looking for, but their eclectic sound definitely gives them a broad appeal.

Question 8

What about Summersalt's fees and prices? Can you give me a ballpark figure?

Accepted Answer

I can't give you exact pricing right here, but I can tell you that fees for live bands like Summersalt depend on a bunch of stuff. Like, the location of your event (travel costs!), the length of their set, and the overall scope of the performance. The best way to get a clear idea of their pricing is to fill out the **GET IN TOUCH** form on their StarClinch page. The StarClinch team is really responsive, and you'll usually get a personalized quote pretty quickly. That way, you'll have all the details you need to make an informed decision. Plus, you can discuss any specific requirements or requests you might have, which can also affect the final price.

Question 9

I’m curious; who are the members of Summersalt?

Accepted Answer

Right now, the band is composed of these super-talented musicians! There's Kitkupar Shangpliang who handles Vocals, front man and Acoustic Guitar, Ador Shangpliang on Duitara(a traditional instrument) and Keyboard, Pynsuk Syiemiong on vocals, Dawadhok Shangpliang (Weet) on Drums, Vocal, Home tools, Gregory Ford Nongrum (Greg) on Electric Guitar and lastly, Baiaineh Shangpliang (Nah) on Bass Guitar.
