Keane want to get close to the fans again
Dec 22 2008 Beverley Lyons And Laura Sutherland
KEANE star Tim Rice-Oxley wants the band to return to their routes in 2009 and hit the road for a series of low-key gigs.
The songwriting genius, who has had three No.1 albums with Tom Chaplin and Richard Hughes, is keen to inject a sense of adventure back into touring.
He told the Razz: "The first tour we ever did was me, Tom and Richard in a van driving up and down the UK.
"We started out playing gigs to about seven people at places like King Tut's in Glasgow.
"I loved it - it was a real adventure and that's what being in a band is all about. I miss going on tour with just the three of us. Getting to the venue in one piece used to feel like an achievement.
"I keep trying to persuade the guys to do another of those tours on the sly."

Although honoured to be able to fill larger venues nowadays, Tim misses being close to the fans.
He said: "Very big gigs can feel like you are miles from the crowd. Nothing beats a sweaty room and feeling you're very close to people - it's far more real."
