British Invasion

A few months ago, Chuck gave me a copy of Keane’s latest effort, Hopes and Fears. It’s become a favorite in my CD rotation at work. Last night, Keane made an appearance on The Tonight Show, where they performed their smash hit single, Everybody’s Changing. Their music is good enough on its own, but until you see them perform their stuff live, you can’t really appreciate how passionate this band really is.

While their guitar-free, piano-driven sound provides the kind of unique brand of pop music made popular by Coldplay, it’s the pleading, gut-wrenching voice of lead singer Tom Chaplin (pictured, far left) that absolutely blows you away. I love 3-man rock bands, and let me tell you–these guys are freakin’ awesome! I can’t wait to see them live at the Rave on May 18th.
