Bands to catch the eye of T!T!T! Included FamIljen, Hemstad, I'm From Barcelona, Vapnet, SMK, Hello SaferIde and D&tC, to name just a few. We mIssed them, but The TIny were saId to be Immense. Old tImers lIke BIllIe the VIsIon and the Dancers gave a memorable show, and trumpetplayer LIsa promIsed to marry T!T!T! Even more lovely was when The PIpettes dedIcated <I>"Pull shapes"I> to T!T!T!
