Started in the year 1999 at a small outhouse which was let out by one of their friends. Initially the band was called 'Green Rhythm' & had only these two in the band, They had a burning desire of forming a larger band, whose name was chosen to be as 'BEAT GURUS'.
From two the band now has grown to nine members who are as enthusiastic in performing for the band if not less. We visualize our band to perform across National and International platforms whilst be able to communicate to the audience through our music.
