HISTORY OF THE BAND
The band has come a long way from its beginnings to this day, from self-released EPs to platinum records, from small bar gigs to large venues around the world, from a trio to a quartet, from ambitious young musicians to accomplished and fulfilled artists!
L’histoire de Keane est riche en émotions, avec toujours un grain de surprise. Tim Rice-Oxley (piano), Tom Chaplin (chant, guitare), Richard Hugues (batterie) et Jesse Quin(basse) savent faire des étincelles. Après avoir surfé sur wholesalewatchesreplica.com une vague de succès, aujourd’hui plus questions d’enchaîner les albums et les tournées, les membres du groupe sont plus à l’écoute les uns des autres, et le mot d’ordre c’est s’amuser, sans savoir quelle sera la suite.
In 2024, the band will be celebrating "Hopes and Fears", and will be back on stage to celebrate its success, 20 years ago!
The band's story began in 1997 with a group of friends in Battle, southern England. After a difficult first few years, the tide turned in 2002 when they were spotted by independent label Fierce Panda, who signed them to their first contract. The first single, "Everybody's changing", was released, followed by "This is the last time", to positive reviews. This led to more radio play and concerts, and the band was signed to Universal's Island label. 2004 was the year of consecration for Keane, with the release of the album "Hopes and Fears", which brought them success in the UK and around the world. With a steady stream of requests and tours, everything was looking up for the band.
Without taking the time to catch their breath, Keane released their second album "Under the iron sea" in 2006, whose darker touch echoed the difficult times Keane were going through at the time, linked to singer Tom Chaplin's drug problems. Subsequent tours and singles production were affected, but the band managed to turn things around and ended 2007 with a triumphant arena tour of the UK. This time around, the band took time out to rest, and 2 years later released their third album, Perfect Symmetry.
This uncomplicated third album surprised fans and critics alike, but ushered in a much happier period for the band, who toured the world in the years following its release. This period ends with the release of the experimental maxi "Night train", a collection of tracks and collaborations made during this period, giving a bric-a-brac feel to this mini-album released in 2010.
After several years as a three-piece, Tim, Tom and Richard were joined by Jesse Quin on bass. Starting out as a simple collaboration, the chemistry developed and Jesse finally officially joined the band. So it's the 4 of them who continue to write the new pages in Keane's history.
In 2012, they release their 4th studio album, entitled "Strangeland"... 4 years after the previous album "Perfect Symmetry"! A break that sounds like a return to their roots for the band, both personally and musically. The rediscovered piano-pop melodies both reconcile die-hard fans and win over new hearts around the world. Keane continues to distill the indescribable pleasure that comes with every listen!
En 2013, le groupe sort son premier Best-Of accompagné d’une petite tournée. Mais le quatuor est gs rolex day date 118139 l mens 36mm watch stainless steel un peu essoufflé. Jesse devient papa pour la seconde fois, Tom souhaite sortir un album en solo… C’est donc d’un commun accord que le groupe décide de faire une pause « longue durée », afin de s’épanouir dans leurs vies personnelles et artistiques.
Après de longues années d’incertitudes, à naviguer chacun de leurs côtés, le groupe semble définitivement éclaté. Mais c’est sans compter les liens qui continuent de les faire vibrer. Ils se retrouvent à l’occasion d’un concert à Battle en 2018. Peu avant, Tim leur a partagé les chansons qu’il a écrites, inspirées par son divorce douloureux. Il n’en faut pas plus pour que le plaisir de jouer ensemble renaisse, et que les graines de Cause And Effect soient plantées. En septembre 2019, le 5e album du groupe voit le jour, suivi christian louboutin cl shoes for women 676155 par une tournée passant par le Royaume-Uni, l’Europe, l’Amérique Latine et l’Amérique du Nord, malheureusement écourtée par la pandémie de Covid-19. Cet album marque le début d’une deuxième phase dans l’histoire du groupe, moins dense, plus spontanée et adaptée à leur vie de pères de famille.
