Thermal And A Quarter’s fourth album "THIS IS IT", previewing exclusively on MySpace NOW!!

Thermal And A Quarter is a trendsetting rock band from Bangalore, India, more recently infamous as the outsourcing capital of the universe. We are three members, three albums and twelve years old. We are known as TAAQ to the affectionate and the impatient and have been fortunate to earn the loyalty of a worldwide fan base mostly thanks to that little ditty that Al Gore claims he started, the Internet. We believe that each album sold, each swatch of music played creates a potential messenger of TAAQ’s music.

Highlights from our decade-long trip include:

  • Fourth studio album This Is It released - 2008
  • Supporting act for Megadeth and Machine Head- 2008
  • Featured in Rolling Stone magazine. 3 1/2 Star Review for the new album, and guitarist Bruce Lee Mani listed among "India’s Best Axemen" - 2008
  • Middle East Tour, with gigs in Dubai and Bahrain - 2007
  • Winner - WorldSpace Award for Outstanding Contribution to Indian Rock; other honorees include The Who, Johnny Cash, Baaba Maal, Jay-Z, Lionel Ritchie and more: 2007
  • UK tour, with performances across London and Glasgow, 2006
  • Voted among "India’s Best Bands" by the Hindustan Times, New Delhi, 2006
  • 3rd studio record Plan B released, 2006
  • Opening act for Jethro Tull, 2006
  • Featured on National Public Radio (www.npr.org) in the USA, on All Things Considered, 2005 – the first Indian band to receive this acclaim
  • Voted one of the ’biggest bands in India’ by a nation-wide reader’s poll conducted by RSJ magazine
  • Heart Cave: Sphurana VCD released, 2003
  • Prime-time FM airplay, Dubai, 2002
  • 2nd album Jupiter Café released, 2002
  • Opening act for Deep Purple, 2001
