Keane NEW YORK, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- A drummer, a vocalist, a guy on the piano -- and the UK flips out! We're stealing some quotes. KEANE are hitting the US on a very limited run so if you want to be a know-it-all, I-told-you-so, smarty-pants, come check them out ... Full length coming soon. "Their debut single, "Everybody's Changing," has found a home at the indie label Fierce Panda (whose roster includes first releases from Coldplay, Idlewild and Supergrass). So beautiful and perfectly formed is the song, the band seem destined for greatness ... Chaplin's choirboylike voice is a beguiling blend of Harry Nilsson, Eric Carmen, Chris Martin and Fran Healy. Appropriately the song touches base with both "Everybody's Talkin'" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." The ghostly piano motif; the hi-hat's entry in the chorus; the juxtaposition of forlorn sentiments with ascending major chords; the finale's inevitable but deadly suspension in the bass guitar; all demand submission from the listener. Yes, it's manipulative (and not for the recently heartbroken). But it's also three-and-a-half minutes of pure pop loveliness." -- London Sunday Times "Chaplin's voice arcs high and clear over elegiac piano. Keane sound like the Pet Shop Boys stripped of their irritating irony, painting out fraught emotions in breathtakingly broad strokes. There's no cluttersome guitars here, no halfbaked slogans -- just tremulous voice, piano-synth and drums -- and it's this clarity that's Keane's greatest strength. " -- NME "Keane are no ordinary trio. It's a drummer, keyboard player and a singer who has an enormous, likable voice. Molded together they deliver a sound somewhere between a scuffed Coldplay and a frankly bewildered Beautiful South." -- Radio 1 Nov. 1 Intersection Grand Rapids, MI (w/ Rooney) Nov. 2 Promowest Pavillion Columbus, OH (w/ Rooney) Nov. 4 Mercury Lounge New York, NY Nov. 5 Norva Norfolk, VA (w/ Rooney) Nov. 7 Banana Joe's Columbia, SC (w/ Rooney) Nov. 8 40 Watt Club Athens, GA (w/ Rooney) Nov. 9 Music Farm Charleston, SC (w/ Rooney) Nov. 11 Troubadour West Hollywood, CA (w/ Bleu) DATASOURCE: Interscope Records CONTACT: Suzi Akyuz, +1-212-445-3240, , or Jennie Boddy, +1-212-445-3345, , both of Interscope Records
