Thermal And A Quarter (TAAQ) is a path-breaking band from Bangalore, India. TAAQ describes its music as ‘Bangalore Rock’; a sound as unique and layered as the fast-growing city of its birth. Imagine a Phish-meets- Steely Dan-via-Mahavishnu-Orchestra vibe: the TAAQ sound is all that and more.
Through the last 15 years, TAAQ has played all over India, completed tours in the USA, the United Kingdom, West Asia, China and South-East Asia, released four studio albums and several singles, opened for acts like Deep Purple and JethroTull, supported acts like Megadeth and Machine Head, and won awards for individual musicianship as well as overall contribution to ‘Indian Rock’. Live, TAAQ delivers an unforgettable, immersive musical experience. From packed clubs to arena-size venues, TAAQ’s stellar musicianship, hard-hitting lyrics, and fluid improvised style make every gig unique.
