The Pleasures on tour with their new double album OH YEAH and some Glamrockers from Sweden, France and Great Britain. Sister played at first and the swedish guys are living the eighties and the hairmetal from the toes to the top.  The melodic songs animated everyone to dance and sing along and the most used word by the singer was fuckers... real eighties stuff!!
Black Rain from France could be the same band, after meeting the guys on the street I could not say who belongs to wich band. The music is a bit less kindly and at the end of the gig Sister enters the stage again to sing along with Black Rain... watch the pictures in the gallery!!
The Pleasures enters the stage with a darker image than before, they played a new mix of songs and I missed some old beloved songs, but they played The Look from Roxette our all time favourite band at the end and everybody sang along loudly and was jumping to it. A video of it is in the video-gallery!  The Lord thanked Monique for her good work on Oh Yeah, she designed the booklet and presented her on stage.  Also the british guys and girls in the ballroom had to enter the stage to show the eighties Robot- dance that is the new insider's tip in GB and comes back to the dancefloors.
On the so called after Show Party Patchwork Grace from GB player their set, but it didin't touched the people, the  female singer had no special voice the music was too slow for a party after The Pleasures played and they were not eyecatching enough between all these Glamrockers.
