RICHARD'S H&F PHOTOBLOG

From KM.com,

London / Monday / 0930

Seeing as the label are re-releasing Hopes and Fears, I thought I would dig out a few old photos from 2003/4/5. I thought you might like to see them. I'll try to put a couple up each day this week, starting with 3 shots from the video shoot for somewhere only we know... (i happened to move that snare drum the other day, and it's still covered in the mud from the shoot).

Paris, obviously!

London / Tuesday / 1015

don't know where this was, but it's definitely Hopes and Fears era... note hi-tech solution of putting laptop on some random bits of foam! looks like the trusty fold-up white table had been retired at this point.

one of us always seems to be on the phone!

Tuesday / 1915

not gonna have time tomorrow, so here are wednesday's pics...

with our lovely TM of the day - Stew, in a tent, somewhere! wierd that we ended up going to Lincoln, Nebraska, home of the Cornhuskers long after Tim had predicted it through the medium of a T-shirt.

HOPES AND FEARS DELUXE EDITION!

From KM.COM,

We're very pleased to announce the full international release of a 2CD Deluxe Edition of Keane's first album, Hopes And Fears, on 9th November 2009.

In addition to the original tracklisting, this album showcases previously un-released and rare material including early demo Into The Light, recordings from the band’s earliest Steve Lamacq and Jo Whiley radio sessions, the timeless B-side and fans' favourite, Snowed Under (from Somewhere Only We Know), and their debut self-released singles.

The sleevenotes have been penned by long-time supporter Steve Lamacq. In them, he describes the first time he saw them at the Bull and Gate in Kentish Town: “There were only three of them but they sounded huge. They were independent of mind but definitely accessible”.

The 37-track Deluxe Edition is available to pre-order now from the Keane official store, for £14 (around $22 / €15).
We also have bundles containing the CD and a new T-shirt featuring the classic CP70 print. Plus, there is a very limited edition deluxe bundle, featuring the album, the T-shirt and a Hopes And Fears CP70 art print, signed by the band. Only 150 of these prints were made.

KEANE OLDIES!!!

I've just found in the OB a new post referring to new Keane songs. To my surprise it was related to Keane at Bull and Gate, 10th Feb 2000. It is a quite long vid with two rare songs. I dunno the names but as quick as I know I'll post here. By the time, you can watch the old performance here. (I can't embed it because of user's request)

And for those who haven't watched the following two...just to remind you! :D
