!Frente! - who'd a thunk it

Phnom Pen, Cambodia
OK, this is a bit of an 'in gag' for Brian (if you're out there Brian) but whilst back in Phnom Pen I strangely found myself in a karaoke bar. Thumbing through the menu of songs, which I have to say was vast, I chanced across a number by that Aussie power-pop, beat-combo from the early 90s - !Frente! (to be truly accurate one of those exclamation marks should be upside down but that's beyond me).

Ah, the memories of whirling round on a beer lubed dance floor at the Mean Fiddler in Harlesden (sadly no longer I understand), whilst one of the more delicate members of the party writhed in agony with a dislocated knee. That's the power of !Frente!.

Needless to say, I didn't get up and blast out Bizarre Love Triangle for fear of what carnage would be caused in the inevitably frenzied crowd.
