Then suddenly there is so much Keane...

Saw Keane tonight at the Bowery Ballroom with and das Moyn. What a show!
First - if you ever get the chance to see a band you really like play a small venue like The Bowery, you should go. You should make sure you don't miss out. It's a great intimate space that tends to have excellent sound, available bartenders, and enough floor space to pogo (if you must).
Second - This was the only show that Keane will play in the area until the launch a formal tour. They're in NYC doing press for their excellent new album, Under The Iron Sea, so the place was packed with Keane fans (some of whom paid exorbitant prices for tickets) who knew a lot of the lyrics and sung their brains out. Even with crowd singing, Tom Chaplin's voice was crystal clear.
I'd go on ad infinitum about the Keane show, but I'm way tired, and I've gotta work tomorrow, then off to Philly for 's Wall. Such the social butterfly.
