Local acts showcase talents at rock concert
KOTA KINABALU: One night, Six Bands, One stage! Rockneo ‘18 was indeed a concert that brings not only our local acts together but also people from all over Sabah in one place.
More than 500 people watched the outstanding performances at Drum Asia Live KK’s stage.
Bornaya Events, the organizer of this event said: “We are satisfied! It’s exactly how we pictured it to be. Our aim is to give a platform to the bands and to gather concert-goers in one place to enjoy live music together and I think we managed to achieve that. Plus, it was the perfect weather and scenery, overlooking KK’s beautiful sunset. So yeah, we couldn’t ask for more.”
The concert started at 5pm with an opening act by the Buzzing Joker, followed by Suistereo, Me Gusta!!, Chugs On Deck, The Jethroes and finally B.O.I.L! Each band was given about 35 minutes to perform five original songs and one cover song.
It was a fantastic night of rock feast that showcases the different angles of rock genre. From alternative and punk, to moshphit and grunge.
It was definitely a historical moment for the bands to be able to play and witness their music being appreciated by those who came and filled the space at Drum Asia Live KK, showing their support to the local acts.
The organizer for Rockneo ‘18 hopes that this concert will make an impact on the local music scene and encourage local musicians from all genres to never give up in making good music and always supporting local music.
