MusicaLive: Rock n' Roll Meets Rave n' Rant

Welcome to the first edition of MusicalLive, a so-called 'column' that will be covering any live concerts or gigs that are held/will be held in Malaysia (or Singapore).

First up, this weekend's Rock on Rave music festival, which will feature Butterfingers, also known as the indie rock gods of this part of the world. They're not the only ones though - there's also other local bands like Deserters, the Otherside Ochestra, Bittersweet, Couple etc.

Nope, no Pop Shuvit or One Buck Short in sight. Whether this is an improvement on the lineup is up to you. And if the music ain't good, it might be entertaining to see the Bargain Bin Pirates throw the lousy acts off the roof.

Anyway, here're the details:

Date: 7th and 8th June
Venue: Cineleisure Damansara Rooftop (gee I never knew we could go up there...)
Time: 1pm - Midnight
Price: RM50 (2-day pre-sale ticket), RM30 (1-day pre-sale ticket), RM35 (at the door)

So see you there, people. Who knows how long this resurgence of live rock music is going to last, so let's enjoy it while we can, ok?
