Keane

So Andrew bought us tickets to see Keane for my bday! We saw posters advertising the concert around Santiago and decided it would be fun to see a band in another country. The show was AWESOME!! It was an all day festival called "Vive Latino", it´s actually kind of strange Keane even played since they´re british...but surprisingly enough almost the entire crowd sang their songs in english, it was surreal to hear this predominently Chilean, spanish speaking crowd of people singing along in english to this British indie rock band...but it was good fun. :D
Earlier in the day we just walked from stage to stage listening here and there, all the other bands were local Chilean bands we didn´t recognize, so it was a lot of boppin´ our heads, having NO idea what they are singing about...although one reggae band did sing some Bob Marley! Ofcourse! lol Pretty much the only unfortunate part of the day was that the venue ran out of food and drinks at like 4:00 in the afternoon (the show lasted ´til 1:00 am) and there was NO BEER! :( We scrounged some chips and peanuts for dinner at like 9:00, having to fight our way to the vendor through hords of hungry Chileans...we were very nonplussed, but even with tummies rumbling I danced my arse off to Keane at midninght and can´t thank Andrew enough for enduring the day (even though he wasn´t even familiar with Keane) with me and celebrating my bday! That´s love! :D
