Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

With over 15 years of experience spanning everything from intimate clubs and local festivals to private events, we treat every stage as a unique opportunity. Playing music is our lifelong passion, and we bring that same dedicated energy to every venue, ensuring every performance feels special.


What's your favourite type of event?

At the heart of Cool Drive is a genuine love for the stage; we simply love what we do. For us, there is no such thing as a small gig—whether it’s an intimate gathering or a massive celebration, we bring the same fire and dedication to every performance. Every venue offers a unique energy, and we take pride in making every single show an unforgettable experience.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Comprising seasoned musicians with years of individual experience, Cool Drive was founded around 2010 by a group of friends driven by a shared passion for music and a desire to pay homage to their favorite artists.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

At our core, we are true devotees of the Rock and Grunge era. The raw, transformative energy of the 90s served as a definitive musical awakening for each of us, shaping our sound and fueling the passion we bring to the stage today.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

To ensure a flawless experience, we handle our full technical setup on the day of the event, arriving ahead of the start time. While timing depends on the venue’s accessibility and the scale of the production, our team typically requires approximately one hour and an half to be fully sound-checked and stage-ready. Our performances are highly flexible, ranging from one to three hours of live music, tailored specifically to your preferences and the flow of your celebration.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, but to ensure the safety of our technical equipment and the highest quality performance, we kindly require a shaded area for outdoor setups on hot, sunny days. In the event of rain or a high probability of inclement weather, we advise moving the performance indoors or providing a fully waterproof, covered space.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We believe every event is unique, which is why we are always happy to share our full repertoire and collaborate closely with our clients to curate a custom setlist that ensures the best possible experience.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

A professional and high-intensity performance that remains strikingly faithful to the originals while delivering a refreshing, modern edge.


Do you provide acoustic performance?

Yes. In addition to our full-band experience, we offer an intimate acoustic duo featuring two guitars and harmonized vocals. It is an ideal choice for creating a sophisticated atmosphere during cocktail hour and can be booked as a standalone performance or as a seamless complement to the core band’s high-energy set.
