Shows Attended
Le Tigre

Anti-war, anti-bush and feminists trio from USA. Sang some songs including FYR and about all the butches.
Silverbullit

Great rock and grundge sound. Their music is interrupted with an uncontrolled and high pitched screaming.
DJ La Fleur

Slow start but she managed to get everone dancing and grooving to her tracks. Perhaps she should switch to digital DJing rather than vinyls.
Moneybrother

The top act for the evening, and a surprise perfromance for me. After seeing all the other acts, I was impressed with their professional style and full complement of musicians playing not only the usual instruments but with violins, saxophone and trombone.
Looptroop

A hiphop band with quick words and in swedish.
Frida Hyvønen

A very soulful session and a nice quiet period amidst all the other louder acts.
