Keane & Dog Tags for War Child

Em Abril de 2007 os Keane para apoiarem a instituição "War Child" fizeram parte de mais um projecto. Este, consistiu na promoção de "dog tags" cujo dinheiro reverteu a favor da "War Child".
(your war is not with me)

Para além dos Keane, Feeder e Corinne Bailey também se juntaram a esta causa.

Keane...a dream that come true

Em 2004 Keane concretizam o seu sonho, tornam-se numa banda conhecida e são reconhecidos pelo seu talento. Uma reportagem na escócia que nos revela o progresso desta banda.Tom e Richard são entrevistados e revelam o que sentem com a realização deste sonho.

Richard Part III

Na última parte da entrevista, Richard fala-nos do inicio dos seus concertos, como se sente agora ao enfrentar uma multidão muito maior que no inicio da sua carreira e o porquê de filmarem em DVD o concerto O2.
Mais detalhes em keanemusic.com
ANDREW: Do you think you jumped ahead to big venues almost too soon, almost like the child stars who grew up too quickly?

RICHARD: I don’t know – I don’t regret anything that has happened basically, but I agree that it was difficult to go from tiny crowds to huge ones. Like that Glastonbury thing, we literally played to 200 people in New York two nights before, and then we flew back and stayed overnight in a Travelodge on the way to Glastonbury, and played to 20,000 people! The stage was probably as big as the whole of any venue we’d played in the last month, because we’d been in America playing little venues. So that was very, very dramatic. The reason we did The O2 show was that we wanted to film it, because we’re very proud of that show and it took a lot of thought. We’d been working on trying to do those venues justice. With a show where two people are rooted to the spot, that is quite difficult, and that’s why the B-stage thing is a way of getting us out into the crowd. That was really cool because suddenly Tim and I felt like the people at the back could actually see whether we were smiling or frowning rather than having to get their binoculars out. So yeah, it was hard but it’s a challenge. I’m sure a lot of people raised their eyebrows when they heard the Arctic Monkeys were going to headline Glastonbury, they probably thought ‘They can’t do that! They’ve only got two albums out, and most of the songs are less than three minutes long! How are they going to do it?’, but they did it and that was great. And I was excited to see how they did it. They did it by just being really good, and that in a way is kind of ‘their thing’. It’s like – ‘fuck it, we’re just really good’. So there we go.

Notícia de última hora: DVD

Segundo o site da amazon um novo DVD dos Keane será lançado no dia 5 de Novembro!
Resta esperar por mais novidades...

Richard Part II

Tal como prometi, a segunda parte da entrevista levada a cabo por dois fãs ao Richard.
Aqui, o nosso baterista dá-nos algumas pistas sobre o próximo albúm.
Mais em keanemusic.com

CHRIS: Are you going to be a lot more prepared for the third record?

RICHARD: Well, we’ve got some time in our barn, the HQ, which we’re going to spend working on stuff in advance. We’re mainly trying to work out if the songs are right, because I think Tim and Tom want to know. We’ve been having a few weeks of not doing anything, just a bit of a holiday, a bit of a chance to take a breather. I think they want to feel confident about how many songs we’ve got, so that’s why we’re principally doing it, but for me it's a great chance to get going on drum tracks. But absolutely, we want to do it slightly differently. Well, I do.

ANDREW: Is there anything that you’re particularly aiming for with album three? You’ve always wanted to strive to make that ‘classic’ record.

RICHARD: I think I used to think that it was all instinctive, but you can think about it to a certain extent. You can certainly try and push the way you’re doing things, and we’ve said in the past that we don’t want to just churn out records that are the same. I think the difference between the first two records, and the fact that some people have obviously come along with us and liked both of them, is kind of a vindication that you can actually try and develop as a band, rather than just doing the same thing. And so, once again, we’re going to try and do something different with the next one. There’s a lot of interesting stuff coming out of America that's... I mean, I’ve been listening to people like Dr Dre for a long time, I think ‘2001’s a ridiculously amazing record and its probably the most played thing on my iPod. I love the sparseness of that, and the last record was really dense, it was full of stuff. So maybe we’ll try something that’s as empty as possible. There’s certainly elements of that that you could experiment with. You could try and be more minimal in your approach with instruments and try to get a bit more funk in there. We’ll see! Or it might just be a rock album – you know, I don’t know. But yeah, we’re going to try and do something different.

Richard: Fans' interview

Imagina teres a oportunidade de estares com Richard, o nosso baterista preferido!
Dois fãs tiveram essa sorte, o Andrew e o Chris estiveram frente a frente com o Richard e conversaram sobre vários temas, entre eles a rehabilitação do Tom . Aqui está uma parte dessa entrevista:

ANDREW: Was there any particular point where you thought, for the first time, that it was a problem that needed to be addressed, or did it just come to a head in Japan?

RICHARD: With the rehab thing? Well, Tom went into rehab in January 2006 while we were mixing the record. Obviously, it wasn't effective, and he said himself that he kind of knew that he was just bluffing his way through it. He's a very intelligent man, and I think it's possible for intelligent people to bluff their way through many things. We were cancelling things left, right and centre, like the U2 show in Lisbon, and I remember a radio session when I was actually in the radio station when I got a phone call saying 'You have to leave, and you have to take your bags with you'. I had to walk past the engineer who was setting up the microphones for the session with my bag, and he said 'I hope you'll come back'. At that point, when we pulled out of doing Jools Holland, it was clear that it was all getting too much for Tom again, and that what we were doing was not helping – in fact, it was probably making things worse. The point is that we had all these things coming up, and Tom obviously wasn't ready to do them and he needed to get himself sorted out a bit and work out if he wanted to do them first. At that point, it was pretty fucking obvious to everyone that it had to be sorted out.

Keane on BBC

Marquem já na vossa agenda:
-25 Setembro Keane no programa da Jo Whiley na rádio BBC

Através deste site http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/jowhiley/
e aconselho que tenham o programa RealPlayer!

Foi em Novembro de 2004 que os Keane com "This is the Last time", "Bedshape" e a versão dos U2 "With or wihout you" encantaram o público que foi assistir à sua actuação nos estúdios Maida Vale.
Keane questionados pelo seu albúm responderam a Jo Whiley:
We're working on it. We've got to write something first! I think we've got a lot of self-belief and feel we can make a really amazing record so we want to make sure we do that and don't rush into making something really mediocre.

Mais tarde em Outubro de 2006, regressaram novamente aos estúdios de Jo Whiley com a música Dirtylicious.
Após o concerto espectacular que deram no Porto :) quais as surpresas que irão ser reveladas no dia 25 de Setembro?

Happy Birthday Richard!

Richard :“We really feel that playing live is the best opportunity for us to connect with people, so to have loads of people coming to see us is a fantastic opportunity to get our music across to people.”

KEANE = Artist of the Month

Os Keane foram considerados "Artist of the Month" devido à sua constante presença e ajuda em causas como "War Child".
O dinheiro conseguido com o seu novo single "The night sky", que será lançado em Outubro, vai ser convertido em fundos para esta causa.
Os Keane estão de Parabéns :)

ARTIST OF THE MONTH
Keane
War Child patrons Keane are the band that just keep on giving. Not only do tehy continually big us up in interviews, on stage and (probably) on public transport but now they're donating profits from their new single The Night Sky to us too.
It doesn't come out til October though so in the meantime you'll have to satisfy yourselves with listening to some old classics here at War Child Music.

Dá-nos também a conhecer a letra do novo single:

'THE NIGHT SKY'

One day I will be
back in our old street
safe from the noise that's
falling around me

And we'll release this town from the people
Who are trying to knock it down
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
And there will be no sound

Open the bars and
Open the markets
Open the banks and
Open the churches

And we'll release this town from the people
Who are trying to knock it down
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
And there will be no sound

We've been cowering so long
Oh what I would give
To stand at the bus stop
Or browse in a bookshop
To sleep and always be still

And we'll release this town from the people
Who are trying to knock it down
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
And I will be set free from the people
Who are trying to bury me
And then only fireworks will light the sky at night
For all the world can see

Outubro é assim um mês com muitas surpresas, para além deste novo single, os Keane vão-nos brindar com a versão de "Under Pressure" dos Queen.

Tive uma ideia para a capa deste single ;) O que acham?
