i heard a few bangaloorru bands play in the FM sponsored competition a few years back, anchored by one priya ganapathy (miss lingolila). most sucked, and some sucked serious ass.
one band tried to do a jim morrison kind of "poetry recital" (a la "then he walked on down the hall" part of "the end") song, for which they should be flogged. most of the bands admitted doing some sort of software job by day to help pay their bills, and judging by the way they sounded, they are far better off sticking to software.
TAAQ for some time looked poised to fill in millenium's shoes (that was a good band), but after hearing their ghatam laced jupiter cafe, i highly doubt it.
has anyone heard of a band called "warden" from mysore?? i heard they were pretty good.
