Keane

This morning I picked up two tickets to see Keane live at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on May 10 at 7 pm. I'm totally stoked. They are a tight band from the UK that I discovered while watching their "Somewhere Only We Know" music video on Much Music a while back. They fall in the same genre as Coldplay and Radiohead. Keane consists of Tom Chaplin (vocals), Tim Rice-Oxley (piano), and Richard Hughes (drums). They formed in 1997 when they were at school together. Notice there is no guitarist whom they lost in 2002, but that didn't stop them from playing gigs. They went big in the UK and now they're bringing it to North America. Keane is unique in that they are a piano-driven band. The music is fresh and Tom's voice can just soar.

Peace.
