Keane

[Medusa]

I picked up the new CD, "Hopes & Fears," earlier today at Best Buy (Arlington, VA location).  They had tons of copies and they are only $6.99 ($7.30 with tax!).  A steal, for a brilliant album!
 
 I've played "Everybody's Changing" in my DJ sets and am convinced it's THE best song of the year - I've been listening to it non-stop!
 
 Sadly, I'll be DJ'ing (doing ATMOSPHERE, ironically) the night they play live in Baltimore.  
 
 Cheers

I just picked this CD up and yes, it is REALLY good. I highly recommend it.

*sobs* why did they have to play the same night as franz?   :confused:  
 
 Did anyone here manage to do both???

[bearman🐻]

Are you serious? Where did they play??

[bearman🐻]

Never mind...just saw that they played Fletchers. WOW. I wonder if it was any good. I haven't been up there in a long time, but I sure hope they make it back this way. And the North Star in Philly is pretty small as well. That would have been great.

Hi, I'm new to the forum!
 I replied to this thread first cuz I just "discovered" Keane and I actually saw Franz F. at 9:30 on June 20th -- omg! there was such a vibe, and the show sold out so fast, it was unbelievable...
 Anyway I'm always looking for good music, live shows.. as a teen I listened to The Smiths, The Cure, recently I'm into Belle and Sebastian The Thrills (saw them at IOTA early this year :-), FF, saw StarSailor at 9:30 as well--good stuff, lots of UK types lately hmmmm ! :-)
 Anyone else??  Anyone? :-D

as is his wont, john buccigross on espn made a reference to keane in the overnight edition of sportscenter.

You should check out delays at 9:30 club on friday

I think that if Starsailor's demographic is 19-25 year old British girls, then Keane must be for 15-20 year old British girls.

[bealex]

Oh dear -- well I'm older than both of those demographics --and I'm not ashamed to say I like both of those bands ! I just might check out the Delays as well tonight.. good music aside, there is a certain appeal about young male British musicians  to those of us of a female persuasion, I'd venture ;-)
 Oh! p.s. are the Delays on after LostProphets after Violent Femmes? Do I have the schedule straight?? thanks..

Didn't it take something like a month to sellout? I agree it was a great show though.

FF tix sold out about 2 and a half weeks before the show..

Keane played Fletchers in MD, and what a toss-up, already had FF tix.  BUT...I have confirmation from someone on their touring staff, that a show this fall (Probably Sept.) should bring them to D.C.  Be on the lookout - all signs are pointing to a 9:30Club show!  
 This will be one not to be missed...kinda like the $10 Coldplay show 2 years ago!

Just found this article on Keane, surprisingly on CNN!  (If this is old news, sorry in advance - I just found it now, and wanted to share).
