/Sandbox Rockaoke

Rockaoke are a band from Sheffield, UK, who have no lead singer, instead inviting members of their audience to jump onstage and front the band. Claiming to have had over 25,000 lead singers since forming in 2004, Rockaoke made national headlines in summer 2006 when Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson joined them on stage at Ibiza Rocks to sing his own "I Predict a Riot".

The name "Rockaoke" was derived in conversation between Manumission / Ibiza Rocks founder Andy McKay and one of the band members who suggested the weekly rock karaoke show at Bar M, San Antonio should be called "Ibiza Rockaoke". The band have been known as Rockaoke ever since and have gone on to popularise the term as the definitive name for rock band karaoke in the UK.

Rockaoke are regulars at London club nights, UK festivals and on the UK college circuit. They have recently made several appearances on Radio 1's Chris Moyles Show and are the band behind the Chris Moyles Show Karaoke Nights.
