Blondie

we decided to round out our Santiago experience it was time to go and enjoy some of the night life.. our pre-funk was drinking 40s at a local pub round the corner from the hostel that had a video dukebox.. well the Chileans love their 80s metal.. and some song kept coming on that reminded me of bon jovi and everyone would get up and sing along.. funny stuff.. a lil GNR and some other classsic 80´s metal..

next stop was Blondies a big nightclub in town.. we saw posters all over town mentioning that it was britpop night.. i honestly can say i have not had so much fun out in a long time.. mind you i have not been to a nightclub in bloody ages.. they played music like they used to at the Empire in theValley back in the day.. god i´m giving my old age away it was 10 years ago it guess .. the cure, blur, the hives, a franz ferdinand set, the killers, violent femmes.. iggy pop.. white stripes, blondi it was like a playlist i would make.. and they mixed in the video clips on a massive screen.. utter filth.

needless to say we boogied non-stop for hours.. although it was funny to see all the kids dressed a bit goth or punk, not the average brit-pop crowd..

oh and as per usual for Latin America a bit of 80´s was thrown in for good measure.. we still laugh about the bus ride that played a DVD of videos clips from teh 80´s.. go men at work!!

We are off to an all day outdoor concert today, thankfully the sun is out.. Keane is the headliner.. we have no clue who the rest of the VivaLatino lineup are.. but I am sure it will go off like a frog in a sock..

Monday after we get our visas for Brazil sorted we are jumping on a 20hr bus north towards the peruvian border..
