Keane 3D

Keane's 3D Gig - The Interview


Keane 3D Webcast (Part 1)


Keane 3D Webcast (Part 2)


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!

Richard & Tom : STV INTERVIEW

Piano pop trio Keane say that new single Perfect Symmetry is about war and terrorism.

Frontman Tom Chaplin and drummer Richard Hughes were talking to stv ahead of their winners-only show for lucky Bauer Media radio stations (inc. Clyde 1, Forth One and Northsound 1) plus a handful of five thirty show, viewers.

The pair revealed that the band are having more fun than ever and said on the new record they tried to make the sound as eclectic as possible.

“We love the song, it’s a great song” said singer Tom of Perfect Symmetry, the title track from their new album. “As soon as we started playing and recording it, we thought it was the best single we’d ever done.

“It’s a kind of sprawling epic…about war and terrorism. Trying to see the good in the people though, to encourage our sense of sympathy and humanity as people, rather than the uglier side of life.

“It’s a very powerful song of the times.”

In October the English group racked up their third successive number one album with Perfect Symmetry, a feat they are delighted with.

“We’ve come back with a record that’s very fresh and exciting. It’s kind of testament to our strength of character as a band,” said Tom.

“Getting this album to number one, considering the amount of competition that there’s been towards the end of this year, has been an especially good feeling.”

“2008 has definitely been the most fun in the life of Keane,” added Richard.

Blitz Dezembro

"Diz-se da cromoterapia ser capaz de curar maleitas de alma e corpo com a mera transição de cores. Se assim é, hora e meia de Keane deu para tratar das dores.

O espectáculo dos britânicos Keane correu o arco-íris da pop, com rasgos de rock sinfónico pelo meio, e superou qualquer medicação receitada pelo melhor doutor. O público trazia as letras bem decoradas e a banda soube acertar o alinhamento com a cadência exigida pelo espírito geral. A sala recebeu a música dos três albuns com igual entusiasmo. Em "Everybody's changing" o vocalista teve mesmo direito a coro capaz de fazer "desaparecer" a sua voz. "mais crescidinho"do que da última vez que pisara o Coliseu de Lisboa, como dizia alguém já cá fora, Tom Chaplin esteve por três vezes junto do público, para delírio das meninas da frente, e ofereceu sozinho de paçco apagado e guitarra a tiracolo a catarse da noite numa bonita e acústica "Bend and Break". As eléctricas "Spiraling" e "Perfect symmetry" fizeram suar as estopinhas a toda a gente e "this is the last time" e "Somewhere we only know", cantadas em sintonia por banda e público, rechearam a noite de comoção. Já no encore Tom cantou "Bedshaped" agarradinho à bandeira de Portugal, que entretanto fora buscar ao público."

A special present for all the Keane Fans and visitors of my blog :) Merry Christmas!

The sun's been hiding
The streets are grey
The rain has been falling down
Seems everyone wears a frown
For Christmas in London Town

It reminds me each time I roam
I'm longing to be back home

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones we used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear, sleighbells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones we used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And we all listen
To the Evening Session with Lammo
I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

Lyrics by Irving Berlin
Originally sang by Bing Crosby
Music cover by Tom Chaplin

Merry Christmas Tom, Tim, Richard and Jesse :)
