Rally Thru The Valley of Rock - Race Two (Lap One)
The idea was to start a music festival paying tribute to all the great rock bands, and Malaysian rally champion Karamjit Singh went ahead and did it. Picking up from last year’s show, Race Two will be divided into two ‘laps’ where 12 Malaysian bands (six bands per lap) will be performing every fortnight on Saturday. Catch Fab’s Brew’s tribute to The Police on 16 March and Net Project performing Bad Company on 30 March. When all 12 bands have performed, there will be a grand finale at the end of the year.
