And we almost
forgot....thanks a lot to Harshdeep Sinha of Department of CCTV for designing the website.
Apart from the conventional
rock band contest, we also have a couple of other events which may be of
interest to bands and individual musicians.
Axetacy: This event
is a solo guitar contest. Participants are
given 10 mins on stage to prove their skills at the axe (guitar). The
result: a foray of licks and solos unleashed by the best of the best.

all that distortion and overdrive? Then this is the event for you. An
acoustic event where participants will be given 15 minutes on stage to
mesmerize the audience with the pure and clean sound of the their acoustic

Rocktaves is
the rock festival of BITS Pilani and is a part of the cultural fest OASIS.
It primarily includes one of the biggest rock band competitions in the
country along with other events like a solo guitar contest and an acoustic
unplugged event.
For years,
Rocktaves has basked in the glory of being one of the most sought after
platforms in the upcoming Indian rock scene, having launched some of the
who's who of the rock scene today.(Parikrama, Prestorika, ThemClones, Indian
Ocean and Euphoria etc.)
This year,
living up to its reputation, Rocktaves is back with the most intense and
challenging contest ever. (and obviously with a lot more goodies up for
grabs too)
