Laugh if you must (I realize some of you will – perhaps uncontrollably) but Keane put on a stellar performance on the final evening of their North American trek. Considering that their junior release, Perfect Symmetry, has been largely ignored this side of the globe, I was shocked to discover that the Sussex based act managed to easily sell out the legendary 6000 capacity venue. Opening with the 1-2 punch of ‘The Lovers Are Losing’ & (Hopes & Fears fave) ‘Everybody’s Changing’, Keane wasted no time charming their overzealous fans. The gig ended with ‘Bedshaped’ and a seemingly leftfield (yet amazing) take on the Queen/Bowie classic, ‘Under Pressure’. In fact, nearly every tune in the entire hundred minute set sounded positively glorious. Keane recently unveiled an online mini documentary.

Not laughing. Saw them at Hammerstein a few years ago. Great live band. I <3 cheese.
I saw their two shows in LA and Anaheim in early May. Both shows were fantastic. They are incredible live; they put everything they have into their performances.
I hope they come back soon, I’ll never tire of seeing them live.
fucking love them. much more talented than people realise. saw them in sydney recently.
