The crowd of Bangalore enjoyed some cold beer with some good food and amazing music by Thermal and a Quarter (TAAQ) on Thursday at Hard Rock Cafe.The band TAAQ has performed many times at Hard Rock Cafe before but this time they had some new songs to remind the crowd about the city. Their latest song 'Meter Mele One and a Half' was a great hit. Its a song which talks about the attitude of the auto drivers in the city. The song portraits the issues faced by commuters in a humorous way. The song was very well written and music reminded you of the Garden City.Bruce Lee Mani said, “ I wrote this song because every Bangalorean has heard this dialogue from an auto driver at least once. This is one song that suits both the city auto drivers and commuters.”The song was soon joined by the crowd because of it catchy chorus 'Meter Mele One and a Half' in a weird but funny accent. The band took the crowd through varied emotions. They had a well balanced play list, with funny songs about Bangalore auto drivers and with their next song they got the lovebirds closer with 'I Need Somebody to Love'.The band also made the crowd go aww with the song Birthday.Bruce lee said, “This is a tribute to an eight-year-old, who thinks his birthday is a place and not a time. I was surprised when he asked if we were going to his birthday or not? That was when I wrote this song keeping in mind birthday was really a place and not a time.”After the mood swings that the band created, they had one more trick up their sleeves with the song Chinece Food which brought back the laughter at Hard Rock Cafe.To finish their performance, they took the crowd to a different level with the song Jupiter Cafe. The song was an instrumental version where people forgot their worries and grooved to the music. The band played over ten songs all original and the crowd enjoyed their dinner with a special dish called Bangalore music.The Bangalore-based band has been in the music scene for over 14 years now.They have released four albums worldwide till date and have played all across India time and again.They have over 1000 shows on various stages to their name, and are one of the most enjoyed bands by the crowd of Bangalore.The band consists of Rajeev on drums, Prakash on bass and Bruce Lee Mani on lead guitar and vocals.
