Keane 3D Webcast (Part 3)

LIVE 3D WEBCAST TODAY

On 2nd April 2009 Keane will make history with the world’s first ever live webcast in 3D. The band will record the live session at London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios, the home of The Beatles' historic first ever satellite broadcast, and will feature live mixed graphics from world-renowned digital artists D-Fuse.

“We believe that the tradition of rock'n'roll is to always innovate, to bring new ideas and concepts into music. We are therefore incredibly excited about the prospect of being the first band to beam our music live in 3D over the internet. Over the last couple of years, our website has become a hive of artistic creativity for us and our fans. On April 2nd at 8pm (UK time), hundreds of thousands of those fans will be able don their 3D glasses and watch us play some songs from our new record, Perfect Symmetry. We will be broadcasting from Abbey Road, scene of the first ever live satellite broadcast - The Beatles ‘All You Need Is Love’ - and we hope that this will become a similarly powerful new way for music to connect people all over the world.” (Tom, Tim and Richard)

3D glasses are available from the brand new keanemusic.com shop with the 7-inch of the new single Better Than This, which is out on 16th March. (We're also hoping to show you how to make your own 3D glasses.)

The audio from the gig will also be simultaneously broadcast live on-air on newly launched national station Absolute Radio. The show will then be available to watch on-demand via km.com afterwards.

Jesse Quin Interview

Jesse Quin talks to "Keane Backline"

IF ONE WORD WERE TO BE USED to describe the life of Keane over the past year or two, 'change" would probably be the most apt. Ever since the Under The Iron Sea era came to a close with the band's 2007 benefit shows for Warchild and Mencap, Tom, Tim and Richard had started the process of redefining their sound and whole approach to the business of being a band. The most outwardly-visible symbol of this process was Jesse Quin, a musician and friend of the band. Jesse took over the bass guitar duties for the recording sessions that ultimately gave us Perfect Symmetry, allowing the band to rediscover an aspect of the live dynamic that had been missing since the departure of Dom Scott back in 2001. Jesse has also been a pivotal part of the band's re-invigorated live show, with his live bass, synth and percussion work playing a key part in reducing the long-standing dependency on playback from a laptop. Whilst there was initially a degree of resistance to his involvement with band, the fan-base have now firmly taken Jesse to their hearts with a level of adoration and appreciation that rivals that of Tom, Tim and Richard.

Despite all this, Jesse has still remained quite an enigmatic figure, rarely being interviewed or being a part of PR appearances beyond playing live. In order to give an insight into the man behind the bass, Jesse was was kind enough to take time out during the band's recent South American tour in order to answer a raft of questions from Keane Backline. He tells us how he became involved with Keane, discusses his past and present solo musical endeavours, and tells us what he really thinks of those I HEART JQ t-shirts!
