Thermal And A Quarter's fourth album "THIS IS IT", playing on MySpace NOW!! Also get our new single, One Small Love, right here for FREE!

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, four 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 trip include:

  • Invited to play at the Java Jazz Festival 2009, Asia’s biggest jazz festival, Jakarta. Other artists on the bill include Dave Weckl, Jason Mraz, Chuck Loeb, Simon Phillips, The New York Voices and more. Prasanna and jazz great Vinnie Valentino to guest on TAAQ material.

  • Supporting act for Megadeth and Machine Head- 2008
