After being squashed in line for 20 minutes Clare and I managed to make our way to the front of the queue (they really don´t know the etiquette of queuing here), the only beverage left was some sort of energy drink. The guy serving behind the bar was crouched on the floor with 3 security guards around him. I´m sure if he had stood up he may have been able to serve people a little faster, but he was apparently terrified of being killed by thirsty teeny boppers.

The only band on the line up we recognised was Keane. None of us are big fans of Keane, but decided we should stay to see them play, they were the headliners taking the stage after midnight. We began sipping our energy drinks.
Although I didn´t know any other bands, they were apparently the best of Latino Rock. Some were pretty good although it´s difficult to get into the music when you don´t understand the lyrics. That is until Attaque 77 do a punk cover of ABBA´s "Give me, give me, give me"! Yes there is a reason no one has done this before, but it did give us a laugh.

Finally Keane took to the stage. I always think the lead singer Tom Chaplin is an odd front man. He has an amazing voice, but he seems uncomfortable taking the lead. I always think he´d be better standing still and singing rather than "trying" to bounce about the stage. It´s kind of like Razorlight, it just looks rehearsed. Anyway we soon realised Keane´s songs sound very alike when heard back to back. We´d tried to guess the songs but without much luck. It was strange to hear English voices on stage and Chilean voices singing along. Tom Chaplin was very cheesy, at one point he shouted "Sing from the bottom of your hearts, the choir of Santiago", after we´d picked ourselves off the floor from laughing so hard, we sang along.

Hard to believe, but yes the tiny figures are the members of Keane

Oh listen to this. A couple of months away and suddenly SOMEONE is too good for Keane... Yes their songs sound the same back to back. That's the point Karen!
I´m sorry Gaz, but I only listen to Peruvian pan pipe music now.
