Music Can!

— devadutta @ 9:08 am, GMT -0700 ( 1188490100 )

When a famous Bengalooru (Bangalore) based band came up with this song (1),
1.

Microsoft is said to have got this band (2)

2. 8ed6a9333495b9604ee71b5a89fba318.jpg

to compose this song (3)
3.

Identify 1,2 and 3.

Hint: One of the members of the band which played song 1, now plays for the band formed by the dude who is on the lead vocals for this song
4.

If you are still wondering (unlikely), the dude who sang the above song (4) looks like this
