| Rock Fest Up-date |
Belok Kiri Jalan Trus (BKJT) are the latest band in town who have crossed over from being a Top 40 act to Rockin’ Original Band. They sent us a CD to the office to listen to and we got so excited that we put ‘em straight into the line-up for the Beat Rock Fest. Great tracks of classic rock delivered with a punch and a Slank, cum Daddy Cool meets Black Sabbath ilk. Junk Abenk, on vocals, wails his way thru the CD with the polish of a seasoned operator and the band totally rocks. It’ll be interesting to see how they put it together on the Main Stage. Yes, the Rock Fest has moved to the Main Stage of the Kuta Karnival. Better sound and lighting was the reason and we look set for a big night out on July 1st. There’s also word that Bandung rockers, Koil will be making an unscheduled pit stop at the Fest. According to them, they have always wanted to do it (be part of the Fest) and just happen to be the background figure (with the guitar) on the advert we’ve been using since 2003 for the Fest, so seems only natural they should be there on the night.
