This year, the festivities are spread over the weekend, and we have a fantastic slot on an evening otherwise reserved for classical music. This is the second episode of our Jazz Yuppies Double Bill, after that fantastic evening at B Flat. And, yes, we will be joined by Nate Linkon and his slinky sax.

Friday, June 19. 9 pm onwards.

Rendez-vous du vendredi soir!

The post Fête de la Musique 2009 – Friday, June 19 appeared first on Thermal and a Quarter (TAAQ).

Five cities. One band. One message: Shut Up and Vote.

Through Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore, we spread the word. We played the music. We sang the songs. Shut Up and Vote, Humpty Dumpty, Chameleon, Look at Me, Jupiter Café, Simply Be… wry anthems and strident protest songs from thirteen years of TAAQ.

Thank you for being there. For singing along. For cheering us on. We hope you will make a difference by rocking. The vote, that is.

Big thank-yous to the team that that put together this amazing tour – Vinay, Milan, Umesh, Niranjan, Arif, Prashanth, Rishi, Sharat, Vijay, Suman, Vandana, Abhinand, Velu, Rani and all the Janaagraha/ Jaago Re volunteers in Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai & Bangalore.

Thank you also Anushya Badrinath, Gaurav Vaz, Shrenik Sadalgi, Srinath Shankaran, Gurudarshan Somayaji, Vinay Kewalramani and Rani Jeyaraj for your amazing photo-finishes of the tour.

You are the *real* rock stars!
