Exclusive: Keane to play Bull & Gate

Will they have to make little fliers to give to all their mates and will at least 17 of these fliers have to be shown at the door for Keane to get paid £2.50 per flier thereafter?

"Keane are returning to their toilet circuit roots"

for good? please?

Where are they going to park?!

Will they have to put all the equipment up on that shelf by the stage?...

I'd love to see their rider in the grotty backstage room...

If they turn up late will the wrath of a sound guy be stubborn with them... "no sound check now mate, you're too late, Gledhill headline"

ooh! and will they pay 20 quid to get it video'd by the lazy stoned guy at the back who occasionally zooms in on the lead singer, rolls a spliff and leaves it there with the gate turned up too high on the sound so when you get the tape delivered 5 weeks later you play back some hot still camera action footage of your lead singer and hear only the loudest bits in the set?

Wow, go Keane!

The first time I saw them was in the Louisiana in Bristol (capacity: 110) - they haven't got a lot of equipment so it shouldn't be difficult...

I was 'Lucky' enough to see Keane play here a few years back, of all things supporting Yourcodenameis:milo. My hat goes off to them, they fucking win. Hey, I was drunk and liked it then, and I still like it drunk now. Thems bastards has got the tunes.

Keane are hard rocking bitches!

I reckon everyone who goes to see Keane will wait out in the bar bit forcing the support bands to play to their two mates, girlfriend and mum. And in between sets the soundguy will wake up/stop texting his mates long enough to turn the feedback off and put on some hungarian techno music at full blast.

No. They're just angry at how the Bull & Gate treats bands then is able to spin out its position on the circuit for a few more years because young groups see that big bands have played there. Shame on Simon Williams I say.

I agree with your comments about soundguys in general. But not there. Also, the stuff that people have said about the guy with the video is spot on.

yeh, since when did kentish town/camden become 'out of the way'?

confused.
