There are some bands that you have heard of yet have not heard. Chikinki are one of these bands for most people. After Kasabian depart, so does a large portion of the crowd leaving Chikinki fans and the curious.
With hand gestures and phrases such as Oh my! The suns out! one can only assume that Big Gay Al from Southpark would be jealous of Chikinkis front man Trevor. Maybe even Julian Clarey would be slightly envious its a tough one there though.
The set just exists, it doesnt capture my attention. It doesnt inspire me. It certainly doesnt leave me wanting more. My attention wanders and I cant help but wander how Chikinki are higher on the bill than Kasabian.
The electro-pop sound that is emanating from the stage thankfully comes to an end and whilst fans have the occasional smile the music is lost on everyone else.
Five years from now? Chikink-who?
