Both the café/restaurant, the main concerthall + the barroom were filled with audience, bands, dj's,dancers and fun!
The audience enjoyed some special performances from West Hell 5 who played a set with 'new' soundtrack for cult movies on the big screen. Sheetah et les Weissmuller brought very wild, psychedelic French beats and the duo Skywalkers amazed us with their full sound. here (mobile phone) YouTube clip of Sheetah and Los Tiki Boys with the Risquettes GoGo girls and one of the Mieters
