OK guys its like this. I have been in contact with Rock Kenya and Rock Tanzania.
They are still trying to identify if there is a rock body for Rwanda and
Burundi. The Idea on the table is to come up with an annual East African Rock
Music Festival every December. The festival will alternate between the five
countries every year starting with Nairobi Kenya this December. It will be a
package based event for those from other countries. As in you pay a standard fee
for the entire package which consists traveling to and fro, accommodation and
tourism around for three days. Activities include Live band performances from
bands the different countries, partying and networking, buying stuff, charity
events and parades for goodwill, tourism and wildlife e.t.c
What do you think? its still in discussion but I had to bring it here to get
your views since we are the ones who this thing is about. Boy it promises to be
real fun!!!

pity about the scribd thing! haha! If you want, you can work on fixing it in your spare time. I need to know what site I need to link my press widget to, and I'd rather produce more traffic for rock.co.ke than for scribd. Even if it's just the text in the mean time. I'll send you a mail during the week about further plans. YOu're in the inner circle of the band, you may not make the music, but you're in this bands, Mildred!
Love Roscoe

Murfy's fLaW

Deadline:

All entries received by this point will receive feedback on receipt of the videos.
Winners
Short-listed videos will be shown duringthe Anime Edition of the Murfy's fLaw gig at Dass Ethiopian restaurant, which will be on Friday the 25th of July. The winners will be picked based on the Judges opinions and a factor from the audience reaction.
The videos will remain the property of the creators. The winning video may be used as a bonus feature in the upcoming album, at which point royalties will be discussed.
1st Prize: KSh 7,500
2nd Prize: Ksh 5,000
3rd Prize: Ksh 2,500
4th Prize: Bag of Peanuts.
Competition Rules:
Accepted formats/codecs: avi, mkv (XviD, DivX, DV AVI), mp4 (h.264), mpeg-1, mpeg-2, swf. Anything else, contact us first please.
Prizes will be awarded to what the judges deem to be the best three (3) videos. The judges decision will be based on technical merit (30%), artistic merit (30%), crowd reaction (20%) and judge's impression (20%).
No video headers/credits. Title cards will be made specifically for the competition.
Videos are to have no visible subtitles/fansubs other than those which you have added yourself and have noted on your submission forms for the judges (this includes text from opening/closing credit sequences). This is to ensure fair judging.
The majority of source sound (as in 95%+) must be the song “Your Friend” by Murfy's fLaW. Additional sounds effects can be added to aid one's concept (for example explosions, kittens mewing, puppies barking) but the song itself should not be otherwise modified.

As Murfy's fLaw loves children, any overtly mature themes, excessive violence, nudity, etc, will result in disqualification. Artistic merit will be taken into consideration, though we reserve the right to disqualify any video we deem unsuitable.
International entries accepted.

Okay. Hold out your arms like they're holding a real guitar. Close
your eyes. You're Brian May. Ozzy. Kurt Cobain. Heck, You're Jimi Hendrix.
'Bohemian Rhapsody is playing'. Or 'Smooth Criminal' (the heavy riff
Alient Ant Farm version).
Now you're playing your invisible guitar and the fans are screaming
your name.Fans?
Uh huh. You're on stage, baby, at Pavement.Panties,bras and all manner
of undergarments are flying onto the stage.For the next 120
seconds,you're the biggest rock star in the history of rock!
And you've just beaten all other airrockers for the chance to go to
