Tribute to Woodstock ‘99
MAKE your way to Cavells Restaurant tonight from 8pm onwards to catch up-and-coming Malaysian rock band Rhythm Nation, who will be presenting their first-ever tribute to Woodstock ‘99. Woodstock ‘99 — which was attempted to emulate the original Woodstock festival — was the last-ever Woodstock event and in tonight’s tribute, Rhythm Nation, along with Blister will be performing songs by various artists at the last Woodstock ‘99 event. In addition to rocking along to the music, enjoy promotions which include RM35 for a beer bucket, and two bottles of Black Label for RM400 nett. And for girls who turn up wearing a T-shirt with a rock star on it, enjoy a complimentary drink on the house. Entrance is RM10, inclusive of a drink. Cavells Restaurant is in Jalan 27/70A, Desa Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur. For details call (017) 3023 917, or connect with Cavells via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/CavellsRestaurant.
