TNT - The Northeast Today presents the 50th Rocka Rolla Pub Rock in association with Tuborg and event Partner-Indian Music Mug.
The event was carried out in Blues, Guwahati and featured 7 bands in total, headlining act by Doorstep Casket.
The show kicked off at 7pm with the 1st band, Collosal Corpse who started off with the Extreme cover- 'Hole Hearted', 'Seven Impossible Days' by Mr. Big, the famous Europe cover - 'I'll Cry For You' and 'Here I Go Again' by Whitesnake. They were followed by Explozion who played one of their Original Compositions and a Megadeath cover.
The third to take the stage was Dark Carnage, a brutal death/math melodic death metal band who performed the Children Of Bodom cover - 'In your face' and an Original composition named 'Helligious sacrifice'. The next band to perform was Sludge Factory, a grunge rock band who played two covers namely 'Down In A Hole' by Alice in Chains & 'Wicked Garden' by Stone Temple Pilots.
The fifth performace of the night was by Nitish Pires, an Indierock artist who played three originals from his album Chauraha, namely 'Rab Jhuta hai', 'Mera Bachpan Lauta De' & 'Assma Na Kabhi Jhuta hai', which was something positively new and promising to the crowd. The next band to perform was Axis, a classic rock band which performed the Led Zeppelin cover - 'Immigrant' and the very popular cover by Van Halen - 'Jump', also heir Original composition 'Feel The Heat'. The last band to perform was Doorstep Casket, the headlining band for the night which played 3 covers namely 'Clouds Over California' by Devil Driver, 'Spheres of Madness' by Decapitated and 'Heartwork' by Carcass and their popular OC - '1671'. Startling response from from the crowd on that one, making it by far one of the best shows Rocka Rolla has had. The crowd was pretty high on music, amazing response in all.
It was a neat turnout, around 150 people attended and the venue was packed. A very successful gig for Rocka Rolla in partnership with The Northeast Today Magazine.
