YOUR SOS 4.8 PICS

From KM.com,

Click here to check out some great fans' pics from Keane's first festival of 2009, at SOS 4.8 in Spain on Saturday night.
It was, so Beth the band's PA tells us, a belting, energetic show in front of a packed crowd. Sounds ace.

Thanks to Spyder_DJ, grippa and greif for the pictures we used above. We've also used a detail from another of Spyder_DJ's shots as the site's rather psychedelic background image...

Some of the Tim pics, actually the only ones I found at the moment!

TIM AT RECORD STORE DAY

A brief comment appeared here but you can read it below.

Tim Rice-Oxley (KEANE)

“Growing up in the UK I’ve loved and lost a series of great independent record stores over the last twenty years. These days I go into David’s Music in Letchworth whenever I can, and always leave with a swag bag full of vinyl and CDs. I especially love flipping through endless boxes of musty second-hand vinyl, picking out things I’d never have gone looking for. I’ve discovered loads of incredible music that way. It’s a way of shopping for records that is discouraged by the layout of huge chain record stores and totally denied by the dreaded supermarkets. So here’s to the indie stores – beacons of diversity, discovery and passion and in an ever more homogenised world. ”
