CSS close Glastonbury day two with dance party

CSS closed day two of Glastonbury 2008 in the early hours of this morning (June 29) on the Park Stage with a raucous, glitter-splattered set.

Taking the balloon-decorated stage at 12.05am (BST) singer Lovefoxxx, sporting an enormous woolly coat and white afro wig, screamed wildly at the audience then launched into 'Rat Is Dead (Rage)', which is on their forthcoming second album 'Donkey'.

The star then shed her coat to reveal a shiny golden jumpsuit before dancing manically and leading the crowd through a unified dance move. The Park Stage audience copied her arm-wave motion in time, creating a sea of flailing limbs.

CSS played a slew of new songs from 'Donkey', out July 21, including new single 'Left Behind'. During the song Lovefoxxx shed her golden catsuit to reveal a green and purple one beneath it.

The Brazillian band also played older numbers including 'Off The Hook', during which the singer swigged from a bottle of water then sprayed it from her mouth into the crowd.

During 'Alcohol' Lovefoxxx teased the crowd, pretending she was about to leap into the front row then backing off, drawing a particularly loud response from a section of the crowd from which a Brazillian flag was waving.

After playing another new album track - 'Reggae All Night' - Lovefoxxx revealed that the band, who had originally been scheduled to play at 11.30pm, would not be playing a full set.

"It took so long time setting up, so we had to cut it short," she said in a dismayed tone. "I know!" She exclaimed when the crowd boo-ed in response. "We've been waiting for this moment all our lives!"

CSS ended their set with a frenetic run-through of 'Alala'. The band fired glitter guns into the crowd at the death of the song then used them to smash up the stage wildly before finally heading off.

CSS played:

'Rat Is Dead (Rage)'
'Meeting Paris Hilton'
'This Month, Day 10'
'Left Behind'
'Off The Hook'
'Music Is My Hot Hot Sex'
'Alcohol'
'Reggae All Night'
'Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above'
'Alala'
