Rock Around The Boat roots-night at Wäiski  brought a new venue to the scene. A small, cozy bar  located at the bottom floor of the boat  was surprisingly an ideal spot for small gigs where you appreciate  intimate atmosphere. Another newcomer, Mighty Four opened the night with an incredible set of rhythm'n'blues and jump swing. Right after their set DHC took the stage and kicked their set off with an instrumental Jump, Bop & Boogie! The setlist was mainly built around DHC's own material with three cover songs, Sonny Fisher's I Can't lose, Sleepy La Beef's Little Bit More and an old rhythm'n'blues classic, Drinkin' Wine Spo-dee-o-dee performed in Johnny Burnette style. The audience took advantage of  the dance floor and there was a whole lot of boppin' and shakin going on until it was time for last song, a swingin DHC original, Bankrobber. Audience shouted for an encore, so they got three more songs and then it was time to go upstairs for the night's last band J.B.Gang. We were lucky to have a camera guy with us ( Thanks Juppe! ) so we will add some video clips of the gig on this site soon....
