WHAT better way for music website Rock Regeneration to celebrate its second birthday than with a night of live music.

Rock quintet Voodoo Vegas, southern hard rock outfit Western Sand and towering rock five-piece States of Matter will play the special bash at On The Rocks on March 1. Entry is £3.

The website, which champions local bands and artists, will put on a second event at the Westcliff venue on March 23 to include eclectic four-piece Peace, Love & Gloves, indie rockers Empire Affair and trio Military Arcade.

You can expect lots more like this in the future as Rock Regeneration have been given a monthly local band showcase night at On The Rocks.
