This hilarious video was made one afternoon while fantasizing about all of the riches we would incur after we spread the word of ROKE! It was my attempt at making a franchising video to show other potential musicians that we would then take and form into other bands and set up at different bars and clubs. Kind of like the video they show you the first day of your first job at a fast food restaurant. " Hi, You are an intrigul part of our family here at Mc Burger Hut. Welcome to the team!....We care about your family as well, that's why every shift you serve at MCH, you get a free Mc Super Combo and a milkshake to go...." You know, that sort of thing.

When Rock N Roke first started, my grandiose idea was to employ multiple bands up and down the east coast. I wanted to take the live karaoke concept global. All night Rock N Roke Bars in Tokyo. Dive bars in NOLA, the Vegas strip, gay bars where the band dresses up like the village people (yes, that's a scene from WW2). I wanted to take the karaoke world by storm. It would be the end of shitty cover bands as we know it. Just think, if the audience is used to jumping up on stage you better believe that if some shitty cover band singer hits too many wrong notes, someone in the crowd is going to jump up and say " I'm gonna Rock N Roke the shit out of this mother fucking place". Well, we started to work on our pitch video but never quite got passed the dream stage. But hey, I'm a dreamer.  

Just like Journey, I don't stop believing that one day it's possible to make all my dreams come true. All of that could happen. We could start a phenomena. American Idol is on its way out, Lady Gaga is no longer relevant.

Maybe what the people of this world need is a place down the street in their hometown where they can go and sing "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" as loud as they can with their shirts off and blood on their hands [that was an Isolated incident and is not a part of a typical RnR show -legal team].

I need help with this. One person alone cannot provide quality entertainment for all to enjoy. It takes a team of people working together to pull off a successful show. Everyone must know their roll and take it seriously to perform to the best of the groups' abilities. If you are with me on this and want to know which roll you can play, then show up at Burden Manor for the first Rock N Roke meeting in over a year on April 20th, 2014 at..well, you know what time. Sign-Up begins now. I need volunteers to check people in, hand out flyers, post on social media and be there to clean up the bloody stage. The most important thing is to have a good time. We can totally have an awesome show, be professional and have a good time at the same time. All at the same time! Together. Making music that other people wrote, with singers who have never sung in front of an audience before, making fools of themselves. No Risk | No Reward. 

Help us spread the word, the love and the Roke'. Be there when we come back to ROCK, whenever that may be. .
