The promoters who brought you the Rockit Festival in 2003 and 2004 are organising a weekend of live music and DJs in order to raise funds for the victims of the earthquake & tsunami that hit Asia last month.

From the organisers:

We were always planning a Rockit re-union gig but now it seems we have a real good reason to come back together for a good cause.

On the weekend of the 28-29th of January 2005, Amnesia and Yumla will hold a benefit for the earthquake & tsunami victims.

Bands and DJ's interested in giving up their time to play that weekend please contact me if you are band and dan at disuye.com (Yumla) if you are a DJ.

I really hope we get a good response from this obviously as the fatherland was hard hit!

Bands playing at Amnesia that have agreed to take part so far include...

The Academy
Kai Hii Kitora
Airtub
Fantasic Day
Garoupa
Audiotraffic
Nothing None
King Ly Chee
