Wow! Shake! Shout! We just came home from the great 60s festival in Leipzig, ran by two of the most fun German guys you will ever meet, Traxel and Lutz. The festival is a courtesy of Soundflat Records and Soundflat Mailorder and features their own bands. Highlights this year was Peter Barry and the Shake Set (who are so stuck in the 60s that they don't have a website or a MySpace - GREAT! But trust us, they are one of the most authentic beat bands around) and The Norvins. Other highlights included the fantastic ballroom venue and the high percentage of the crowd that was dancing. We would love to show you some photos from the event but we were way too busy grooving some new dances and finishing those GTs. Instead here is a photo stolen from the festival's MySpace. YouFace this!

The festival has been added to the new and growing directory section by the way.
Updated! Joanna Bunbury was kind enough to send us some pictures from the festival. Read the rest of the entry to see them.

The ballroom! Notice Statler and Waldorf on the balcony?

Traxel (of Soundflat Records) and some femme fatale.
