The RockWiz Orkestra provide the soundtrack for the greatest Rock trivia game show on the planet. RocKwiz is shot live in the legendary Gershwin Room at the Esplande Hotel in St Kilda (and then carefully edited so we look like we know what we are doing). RocKwiz features the band supporting two musical guests in solos, a hilarious trivia quiz and a show climaxing duet.
Thanks for adding me RocKwiz Orkestra......love the show and you guys really help make it enjoyable....keep up the great work. Cheers from Adelaide Bernie
