It was an eventful night when eight local bands performed a live show to honour their friends, Uroboros, who won the championship title for the Battle of the Bands (amplified) 2010 organised by Radio Television Brunei (RTB).
With the theme “Gig of Rock”, the event was held at Kg Rimba at the residence of Aman’s family (lead guitarist of Uroboros). The group extends its gratitude to the family for hosting such a memorable event and their continuous support for local musicians.

Personally, the event was very well organised and one of the best musical gig I have ever attended and it gave me the opportunity to meet many talented local artists and friends with whom I’ve lost contacts for all this years.

The eight bands who performed that night were AFFA OF, Chief of Band, Nation of Hydroge (NOH), Bullock, Abstract, Karacoma, Magabu TWS and Uroboros.

The show started with a number by the AFFA OF who wooed the crowd with an energetic performance with international hits such as Edance, Kau Fikir Kau Segalanya, My Chemical Romance and a self-composed song called Masih Ada Peluru.

The next performance was by Chief Band where they played several instrumental numbers.

The heat of the night was then brighten up with a performance by NOH with songs entitled Error Operator, Tersesal, Cute Without E and Permusnah while the Bullock band played a melodic song called When Your Heart Stop Beating.

Uroboros then took the centre stage with some fast number of Gun and Roses such as The Trooper, Out There All Night, Sucker Train Blues, Sexy and Sinaran.

The gig was followed by the Karacoma band, the winner of VIMA2010 in Kuala Lumpur recently, with four of their english hits entitled Breathe, Fire Conspiracy, Whitered and Angel.

It was also the night for Magabu TWS who kept the crowd amused with a favourite number from their single entitled Kenapa Mengapa.

They also entertained the crowd with several of their reggae songs such as Kau Racun, Suka Suka, Jika Aku Bersuara as well as their newly composed song called Dadah Durjana.

The last performance was by the Abstract band where they performed an energetic hard rock songs.

The objectives of the event were not only to celebrate but also to forge friendly ties among local musicians in the sultanate. The gig ended with a photo session of the band members with the fans.
