With every passing year the annual gathering under the banyan tree at the Fireflies Ashram gets bigger and bigger. At this nightlong music festival last fortnight, the assembled crowd was young, old, drunk, stoned, raucous and sleepy. In all some 5,000 Bangaloreans turned up and screamed themselves hoarse way into the wee hours, prompting the [...]
The first ever episode of TAAQ Tales, in which we uncover the stories behind our music. The words, the pictures, the dramatis personae, the unspoken words between the lines, the unsaid lines…. everything. Be there, ask, and go home with our secrets.
Arian Hellsing waxes poetic about our gig at The Park, Kolkata.
Oct 31 at Someplace Else, The Park: TAAQ and Skinny Alley urge you to relish the ilish, and everything else that’s lovable about the City of Joy. Be there 8ish.
Kirtana Kumar, Priya Mendens and Shalini Subramanian join Thermal And A Quarter at The Highland Nectar, a spacious and lively bar occupying pride of place at the Grand Arrival Court of the ITC Royal Gardenia. Look forward to an evening of uplifting performances as the divas regale you with their chosen favourites and lend their signature flourish to TAAQ’s unique repertoire.
Our gig at Firangi Paani, Andheri, as experienced by Raghavendra Singhania:
Thermal And A Quarter were in town last night at Firangi Paani. And they were so awesome that this is the first blog post I’ll be doing for a band, considering the fact that I’ve been for shows like Iron Maiden, Porcupine Tree, Joshua Redman and various other shows.
TAAQ and Swarathma turn it on at the JD Rock Awards at Hard Rock Cafe, Bangalore on October 21.
The Firangi Paani has been moved from Bandra to Andheri. Still, you can make October 19, a Tuesday night like no other. Dump your boss (and his wife) for a stash of funny money.
October 16, TAAQ takes the Kickbackistan bandwagon to Goa. Claim your funny money and stand by for an important announcement.

TAAQ plays in Goa for the first time. Oct 1, 2010. Keep your ears peeled for Kickbackistan and several other favourites. Demand your funny money!
Now I’m not sure about one thing, but there was this shockingly original rendition of Hey Jude! I swear you haven’t heard anything like that before and The Beatles would have been proud to see a 3-piece band from Bangalore pull that off! I hunted on their website but couldn’t find a studio version of that, but I hope that changes soon and a few more ‘original covers’ follow. And no, its not an oxymoron with TAAQ.

Anish Banerjee writes in from Hyderabad: A friend of mine once said that if you take all the Mallus (all in good spirit…: D) out of Bangalore, you’re not gonna be left with a single band in the whole city. So when you have three and a quarter (well, not anymore though) of them coming together to make music, you are bound to be transported to a whole new world of eclectic music.
