What's Up with Rockeoke?
What do you get when you bring a group of people in a room with TV that plays songs with lyrics at the bottom? Boring old videoke. But what if you make those people disgruntled yuppies, rebels and emos, in a bar with a live band and a ready mic? You get rockeoke!
So, if you’ve been aching to act out your rockstar fantasies… it’s time to throw out the tie, smear on the black eyeliner and get smashed at Mag:net. Just be warned that you’ll be in bar full of like-minded, equally untalented singers. It will get loud! So it’s best you just sing along and join in the communal desire to live as gloriously and as drunkenly as you mumble the lyrics,
“Twenty - five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?”
That’s exactly what I did onstage and it’s been one of the best gimmicks I’ve had this year. I’ll have to thank the 4 Non Blondes, San Mig Light, Quark Henares and the other Mag:net part owners for thinking up Rockeoke. It certainly lives up to the hype.
Rockeoke happens in Mag:net Café on scheduled Mondays. They have different activities lined up for each night. Aside from Disneyoke, Broadwayoke, they often have arts galleries and even comedy acts. Mag:net provides an awesome alternative for non-clubbers who are more culturally inclined. The place has a great vibe that manages to bring out the un-shy in people.
