Musical meatballs
My first idea after hearing Poets of the Fall playing on the main stage was “Oh, it’s HIM.”
After checking the program booklet and listening for a while I came to the conclusion that this was a lite version of the aforementioned band. Although it seems that someone added spoonfuls of sugar to the recipe, for the end result was was rather sweet. Such sweetness was enough to bring back memories of the meatballs I ate an hour and a half ago. Mind you, the not-so-discreetly rotating hips of the lead singer might’ve had something to do with that as well.
I felt somehow alone wandering amongst the crowd, who all seemed to be singing along. So even though the band didn’t do anything for me, the Rokki people appeared to enjoy them. Seems like they’re the mostest hottest thang right now. I suppose.
