HOW IT WORKS
- PICK A SONG
- SING WITH THE BAND
- WATCH THE CROWD GO WILD
The band provides the gear – Backline, PA, and an extensive repertoire of classic and current hits from ABBA to AC/DC. all the lyrics are shown via custom made video’s on our large flat screen monitor which move in sync with the band. It couldn’t be easier to follow the words during the song – leaving more time for people to concentrate on their singing, performing and rocking out!
Rockaokes’ custom technology sets us apart from other similar experiences, providing a seamless and professional entertainment package that is unique in its field.
After a few songs by the band to hype up the night, patrons write down their song choice on our request cards for a chance at fronting the rock band. The band will choose the order of ‘rock stars’ to keep the night running smoothly (and keep the set coherent for all the audience). Incentives can be offered for people to take part (eg. Free drink), or prizes can be awarded to best on night, to generate buzz during the performance. The band will perform 3 extended sets with the Rockaoke performers, with short breaks between.

DO I HAVE TO KNOW THE WORDS?
Not at all, the band have all the lyrics on their large flat screen TV that move in sync with the music – get on stage and sing it loud and proud.
WHAT IF I CAN’T REALLY SING OR GET NERVOUS ON STAGE?
The Rockaoke band are there to help you every step of the way – don’t worry, they’ll make you sound great with back up vocals and prompts if you need.
CAN I PLAY GUITAR, BASS OR DRUMS WITH THE BAND?
No, this is not a jam night. These guys are professional players and it is vital to the night that everything sounds as polished as possible. But if someone wanted to get up and play a bit of harmonica, that would definitely be OK.
WHAT ABOUT TAMBOURINE?
Are you kidding? No way at all. It’s a sure fire way of annoying everyone at the venue, and it’s not that cool!
WILL I PICK UP AFTER I PERFORM?
Yes. It’s the nature of the rock n’ roll business.
FOLLOWING LYRICS ISN’T VERY ROCK’N’ROLL, BON JOVI NEVER USED LYRIC SCREENS!?
Yeah but Axle Rose and Mick Jagger did, what’s your point?
CAN GROUPS OF PEOPLE GET UP AND SING?
Yes of course, but ideally no more than 4 at one time. Rockstars need their space. The stage can get very crowded with too many people grasping for the microphone.
Rockaoke.
