As much as we love Biddu, we couldn’t believe our ears when he sang ‘La Bamba’ along with rapper Earl, a couple of female back-up vocalists and an obviously unprepared Gary Lawyer (who had come on stage to present Biddu the award and then not knowing if he should stay on or leave proceeded to awkwardly the tap the plaque as if it were an instrument). It was like watching a cheesy hotel band in the lobby of a resort in Lonavla, or to put it ever so slightly more kindly, as if three of your uncles had decided to put on an impromptu performance at your cousin’s wedding. – Amit Gurbaxani’s (Indiecision.com) review of Jack Daniels ‘rock’ Awards 2010.

With the world in turmoil and India licking the wounds of 26/11, the last thing we needed was for churches to be desecrated and women to be attacked in pubs and on the streets of our cities.

Thermal And A Quarter responded to this climate of hate and suspicion with ‘One Small Love‘, a song that persuaded you to perform a small act of kindness to make a difference in a tired world. The music video, broadcast on YouTube, continues to be very popular.

This year, One Small Love is echoed by the collective voice of Bangalore’s concerned citizens.

On February 14, 2010, join us for ‘One Small Love – Bangalore for Mangalore‘, a convention of concerned and like-minded Bangaloreans, to celebrate the spirit of freedom and tolerance with free speech, food and music.

The event will see performances by Konarak Reddy, Allwyn Fernandes, Gaurav Vaz, Ravi Kulur, Gerard Machado, Karan Joseph, Swarathma and Thermal And A Quarter.

‘One Small Love – Bangalore for Mangalore‘ begins at 7 pm at Opus in the Creek, Brookefields, Bangalore, on February 14, 2010.

If you are not in Bangalore, show your solidarity by becoming a fan of the ‘One Small Love’ Facebook page .

Although it is little difficult for me to understand how Jack Daniel awards work because they missed some of the best releases 2009 like Amogh Symphony’s ‘Abolishing the Obsolete System’ or a little known band from Chennai called E-Flat’s debut offering ‘Parables of Pariah’, in fact there were so many releases in 2009 (see complete list of releases) that Jack could have had awards for individual genre’s instead of pitting Metal vs Folk rock vs Alternative vs Blues. Anyways, Here’s the list of winners.

1. Best Band of the Year – Swarathma
2. Best Album of the Year – Bhayanak Maut – Bhayanak Maut
