KEANE Concert

Several years ago, my friend Barb introduced me to KEANE. I was able to introduce Nick to them, and we always hoped we could make it to one of their concerts someday. .They recently released a new EP, which meant a tour! Nick saw a poster for it on the metro and it was only about 2 weeks away. Perfect timing.
It was at the MERRIWEATHER POST PAVILLION, which is only 30 minutes from us. It is an outdoor location, so it was pretty warm still, but the rain let up just in time for the show.
The drummer of the band blogs about their tours and takes a picture of the audience at each venue. Here is his photo from our concert. You should be able to click it to see it bigger.
The opening acts were also really great. The first was FRAN HEALY from the band Travis. He's from Scotland, so it was fun to hear him talk between songs. Next up was INGRID MICHAELSON. She is quirky and really fun to hear live.

I love bands that sound just as good, if not better, live, and Keane is definitely one of those (the video below doesn't quite capture their true sound). They packed the concert with as much music as possible, and it was all very high energy. Here is a You Tube posted song from our concert. I actually think this was taken by the girl sitting next to us because it is the same view we had. We're pretty sure that Nick is the one "OOH!" that wasn't exactly on cue :)

We definitely hope to see them again when they come back to the states for their next tour.
