So I went to Matucana 100 MFest last Friday night

For this!  Friday, 11 enero, as part of MFest: Centrofest  Manucata 100 where there were five evenings (indie-ish based) and I only went to one.  Good time of year, five days of, now competing with local opera and kiddies' place in February!  (Reminds me of catching Lo Bunkers in summer 2012, outside in a race course I didn't realise existed in Santiago up until then.)

I wanted to see Astro (who had played surprising short sets at La Cumbre del Rock and even Primavera Fauna.  So I was happy to see Astro do most of an hour, and of course I waited for Dënver's 'Los Ascedolentes' en el en core but both bands were amazing!

Makaroni impressed me.... I initially thought I'd missed them, got to the venue about 10.50am and Astro didn't take the stage, so I thought they'd've been before Astro, but they turned out to be really dancey, but played live with two singers, keyboards, other effects pedals/machines... but they actually did play live!

I'm not the biggest fan of Makaroni's music, but I danced the whole time, two keyboadists singing and playing  live on keyboards, plus one excellent bloke on a mini-keybroad and three little twirk-about objects, so he had four little instruments to adjust-- plus ALL had had to sing live into the mike when needed!

Whilst I came to see Astro and Dënver, I ENJOYED Makaroni mucho, less so que DJ Nico Castro.  Soomehow I heard the name, 'from Radio Horizonte', but not the music was much further out Makaroni's, which still had an element (however scance) of 'band' not 'dj', not that I dislike djd!

 (pero ya fui una semana temprana!  ¡Ya buena 'show'!)

(Dënver male singer/guitarisat suprisingly hot!)


I even liked Makaroni's approach!


I went with the new electronic cigarette, but that's a whole 'nother post!

I hope this made sense!
