A new property in a Bandra bar involves a live band playing the role of a jukebox

Have you ever had that feeling where you've gone for a live concert and wished that the band played a song you love? Maybe you made a request. But the control eventually lay in the hands of the performer to either gratify you or not. That's now set to change with Human Jukebox, a self-explanatory property held every Wednesday at a Bandra bar, where the audience gets to decide the set list for the night.

The concept is simple enough. What happens with an actual jukebox is that you put a coin in a slot before selecting a certain song you'd like to listen to. Here, it's pretty much the same, except that when you walk into the bar and get a table, you'll find a sheet of paper with a list of about 60 songs on it. The tracks are all in English, and span across the '70s to the present day. You pick the one that you'd like to hear and the list is then handed over to the band, while you wait for them to perform it live instead of hearing a recorded version over the speakers. And if there is a track by a particular artiste featured on the list that's not offered as an option, you are free to request that as well and the band will oblige if they know how to play it.
