london / friday / 1515

i really enjoyed the a camp set - there are some really beautiful songs on colonia and they had a pretty big crowd there to enjoy them. after a bit of food we wandered over to catch the start of lykke li's set (only the first three songs though - then we had to head off to warm up for our set.) i really enjoyed what i saw - i'd love to see a full gig. our show was fun, though it felt really late, but confusingly still light! the crowd were great - loud and full of energy. we played a pretty rocking set, which is always fun. sorry there was no encore, but we had a limited amount of time so we thought it was better to just play straight through, instead of wasting time coming off stage only to come back on again...

three hours is not enough sleep. it was getting light again as we left the stage at 1.45, and we had to get a plane at 7.55 from arvika, so we left pretty much straight away, and before we knew it we were back up and checking in... it's been a really fun tour, and i can't wait to get to beirut - you can bet i'll be taking photos there!

ok, not funny! i make a joke about the lift danger sign, then i come back and it's broken...

more pics of that cool building - and the amazing sign above the door

lykke li

last few pics from København

that amazing venue - my view

peace and love festival, Borlänge / thursday / 1830

about to go and watch a camp, so i'm just gonna post a few pics from the last couple of days...

from København:

that owl again, close-up!

from Borlänge:

another owl!

i love this building too

please don't think about this one too long:

 

 

 

 

 

 

København / tuesday / 1630

what a magical city. i love it here. the fact that it's summer and the sun is shining helps, but even when we were here for the mtv awards (in winter) it was still great fun. jesse and i have new hats, and everyone is looking a little bit more tanned than last week. we're in the studio again today, and a great one it is too... lots of lovely musical toys for tim to play with, and a good vocal booth for us all to sing in. i've just done some bvs, and tom is doing a couple of vocals. more on all that soon.

finally, we are supporting love music hate racism, which is why a banner will be appearing shortly - for more info see http://www.lovemusichateracism.com/ - we hope you'll give it your support too.

i really liked the owl

i assume you choose a post box depending on how large the letter is that you are hoping to receive.

german strawberries in denmark... "jordbaer", apparently!

i love this building!

this place is a school called SOSU (i didn't want to take a picture of the whole front of it because there were tons of people on the steps having their lunch).

there are loads of these really old buildings here - lots of them painted an amazing deep red - it gives the town a great, vibrant feeling.

i bought another hat here... www.susannejuul.dk/ these wooden moulds are fantastic!

København / monday / midday

howdy. sorry for the lack of updates - yesterday's festival internet wasn't interested... we've had three fun shows in a row - even winning over a fair few of the crowd who were wating for die ärzte (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Die_ärzte_Köln_1998.jpg). i don't think they knew what to expect, but even the hardest of rock fans seemed to enjoy some of the set.

at werchter, tim, jesse and i went out into the crowd to watch depeche mode, tom staying at the side of stage until the bass became too loud! it was great to see them back out and playing again. there was a lot of love for them out there.

we also watched most of lily allen's set at hurricane - it was brilliant. she is such a sweet girl, popping into the dressing room to say hi afterwards. her cover of womanizer was a bonus, and i've got to say, her band are pretty awesome too.

we've got a day off today, so i'm gonna head out for a wander. it's a lovely sunny day, and it's a really enjoyable place to walk around. the waterfront is beautiful, and i seem to remember this is where tim and jesse got their white jeans... who knows what they'll be wearing tomorrow!

apologies for the crap pics - it was dark and i didn't have my big camera...

DM:

werchter festival site / saturday / 1320

what a contrast to yesterday! it's not pouring with rain, there is hot water in the showers! the internet works... this is our third time here (i think) and i have many fond memories. last time we played here it was the best line-up for a day on a stage that we've ever known. it was really cool hanging out with the killers, sharing a few drinks with ronnie and scott (my drum tech, who has also worked with ronnie), and meeting the klaxons for the first time. ronnie and i went to watch the chemical brothers from the side of stage, but it was too darn loud - we had to retreat.

really looking forward to playing, and also to watching depeche mode. i was given a sony discman http://www.hificafe.net/kolumne/images/sony_discman.jpg for christmas in 1990 or 1991, and i only had one album to play - it was depeche mode's violator - one of the all time great albums. i must have listened to it thousands of times. i love everything about it. i really hope dave gahan is well - he is one of the great front-men. i've only seen them a couple of times, so it's gonna be a real treat.

oh, and good luck jenson!

pics from yesterday...

did he jump or was he pushed?

i will never ever do this...

the festival was on an old military airbase (now a private airport), but it still had the old control tower, and, unbelievably, the kind security man let me go up there and take a couple of snaps of the site. i couldn't believe it - people always say no, and that's why rob and i always just wander into places til we get thrown out. i didn't get his name, but thanks, pal - you were a star.

the festival site from the control tower

southside festival site / friday / 1115

our hotel internet wasn't working, so here are a few snaps from berlin. both shows so far have been ace, and we had a great time in berlin. tim, jesse and tom had a day in a studio yesterday - i guess it's hard not to want to be in the studio when in berlin! i managed to pick up a stomach bug so steered clear. sounds like they managed to get lots done...

it's a bit cold and pouring with rain here at the festival, so i hope it clears up a bit for the hardy campers. we're not on for ages so there should be time to have a wander and check out a band or two. if you're coming down, bring a raincoat!

Köln / tuesday / 1549

just a few snaps from town this morning. soundcheck in a few mins...

Köln / tuesday / 0048

we made it, powered by cheesy / great pop music. blink 182 was indeed me (along with many of the others) - definitely gonna go and watch them play now they have said they are re-forming (beth and i both really liked the angels and airwaves album too). it took about 18 hours to get here from oslo, and both tim and i feel a bit wobbly - it's like slight motion sickness from being on a moving bus for so long. norwegian wood was a really fun show - norwegian crowds are always so up for a good time, it's great to play there.

tim and i just went for a wander, and dinner at a little italian place called trattoria toscana, in what seems like a cool area of town. we're all on a health kick, so it was salad and grilled fish for tim, and asparagus and pasta with pesto for me. no dessert, no wine, no beer, nada... then straight home to sort out these photos - turns out blogging is good for me!

took a few photos en route, and then of the cathedral, the rhine and the railway bridge... including a couple with the new lensbaby. hope you like them.

i promise we put this back... and yes, i have hair like a man who just woke up, and needs a hair cut.

there are padlocks all along the bridge...  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_padlocks#Cologne.2C_Germany

Richard :'( No pics since 11 days !!!... It seems that sloth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloth sleeps in you... By the way, here is the lovely pic of an Englishman, winner on stage three, in my region ;) http://msnsport.skysports.com/gallery/detail/0,20501,15557_5417557,00. html#photo=6 I regret that Sheryl CROW and Lance ARMSTRONG are not anymore together because I would have been straight ahead over there to catch a pic... I ♥ her so much... I have never been interested by the Tour de France excepted when she was on the Tour ;o)

Posted by Agnes(Fr-15/07/2007) on 2009-07-06 23:15:08

Kopenhagen (and Keulen) are great cities, indeed. I love your pictures, Richard. Please publish them in a book. By the way, it's so difficult to take a picture of you at concerts, with my camera that is. Please look at my small tribute to you at Archive Cologne 16th of June. Lots of love to KEANE from Holland.

Posted by ingeborg on 2009-07-06 11:42:21

My brother is also fan of depeche mode , and also listen to Violator a thousand times. I thiink that those photos are a good way to see what 's going on behind the sscene and to discover alot of things in the differents country or town through your photos, ot's like if we were with you, and thank you for that.

Richard, Let's hope at least you've brought back few snow globes from Norway, Denmark and Sweden... The ultimate chic, indeed... And then what a joy to shake all these globes at home !... Owls and other birds, toad, fox, wild boar and pig roasted on a spit : I don't know what's the real beast that sleeps in you ?!... Anyway, I'm suffering from some withdrawal symptoms concerning your odd pics !!!

If you want to know why thereś a love that cannot lie, love is strong , it only cares for joyful giving....we could fly so high let our spirits never die in my heart I feel you are all my brothers..."Otherwise I love looking through your photographs, with you it is all magical and heavenly...

Nice cities. Greats Pic Richard

Posted by Iveth on 2009-06-27 14:43:36

One of the nicest places that I have known, Scandinavia, with his silver light, his architecture and the fiords that cut the breath. And ,Kobenhavn that wonderful city, so romantic .Have you gone to seeing the statue of The Little Mermaid of Andersen's story? Or the Tívoli? Or the Royal palace? And it is true the beautiful thing that is the Midnight Sun... though is precious in Scotland too, and spectacular in Lapland! I was in the habit of being in love with the Prince Fredrick when I was a little with girl, and for this motive I travelled with13 years for the first time, LOL! Though then I returned because region conquered me! And with so many free owls for the surroundings .... it will not be Harry Potter surrounds?? LOL Thank you Rich, for your wonderful art and for being kept informed. I hope that you are enjoying the tour and that you come back home loaded with gifts! We meet very prompt in Spain, almost I cannot expect to see you again ! xx

Posted by kari from spain on 2009-06-27 14:17:28

Geeze Owe...I really really like the fishbowl views from stage...Thank You Again for taking the time to share with us..Look forward to seeing pictures of Beirut...

Still funny to discover some weird pics like this one rather disgusting of a wild boar hunting trophy !... I hate this kind of stuff with animals heads :( Anyway, thanks for sharing your nice perspective of a full crowded gig ♫... A thrill. Enjoy a restfull week-end ☺!!!

Yes, experiencing the midnight sun in the Scandinavian countries is quite something spectacular, and people there know how to party and have fun while it lasts. I did not want to go to sleep, I had to force myself to do it behind closed blinds. You have made me wanting to go there again soon!

I've got to be more observant ! I never catch you snapping pictures during a performance on stage, yet look what great stuff you come up with!! Once again, Richard, thanks so much for taking the time and sharing. What fantastic work! ....Sherry, Michigan, USA.

Posted by Sherry W. on 2009-06-26 18:34:28

Richard your pictures are great, I like taking pictures as well and I'd certanly LOVE to go to the places you go. So please take care and have a nice time over the world taking pictures. And then (once you're done) please make a new album and please tell Tim to let you write a song or two (and not be selfish with the music), and so, once you've done, please come back to Argentina and sing this songs to me. I'll be grateful (or whatever it is the right word- not good in english matters).- And, one more thing: stop taking pictures to THAT building or someone inside will think wrong and call the police!!!

Thank you so much Richard to post pictures and give news when you only had three hours sleeping. I'm glad to know that you're all safely back in London. I hope your cats are well. Nice pics of the gig. Enjoy your break, bonne fin de semaine!

Posted by Mihajasoa on 2009-06-26 17:16:06

LOL about the lift. You have the best view of the house :-O I love the pics of Jesse! By the way, OMG next week I'll be in UK (I'm from Brazil :) ). I'm so... so... so... sooooooooo anxious. I was hoping that I could see Keane on July there, I will even stay on East Sussex, I've started to believe in fate(LOL) when I noticed that the city that I'm going to spend about a month is 15 miles from Battle and it was really a coincidence. I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH. I really wish that I could see you on England.... aren't you going to do ANYTHING there? ): please please please

Posted by isa on 2009-06-26 16:30:03

Hi Tom! I hope you can bear the loss of your very first hero Michael Jackson! I can imagine it is very hard to deal with it when you lose someone who helped you to become who you are. But don't be sad. Though you lost your hero, you already managed to become a hero yourself. Please stay as you are, don't ever change. For me you are the hero that I needed to become who I am. You made me to a happier person. Much happier then I ever was! Thanks for that. So don't give up and don't be too sad today! I'm sure you'll get over that very soon! Thanks for everything guys! By the way- nice pics Richard! Have a great time and a lot of fun on your tour around the world! Lots of love from Dorothee, the biggest Keane fan ever!

Posted by Dorothee on 2009-06-26 16:18:43

I know this is Keane website, but I'm still stunned and sadden over Michael Jackson's unexpected death. I grew up with his music and his influence is still felt throughout the music industry. There will never be another performer like him. Rest in peace, Michael.

Tom, I have listened in many interviews to your admiration for Michael Jackson, imagine that today for you it is not a pretty day, the life turns out to be short for everything what one wanted to reach or to do. Sometimes to the life it is not necessary to try to understand it it is necessary to learn to live through it in a simple and beautiful way. Kisses from Paraguay

re: MJ - good career move.

Posted by Left Coast on 2009-06-26 09:42:16

Because he was unquestionably the king of the Pop !... Because this song is too beautiful and it drives to tears... Because this song really is perfect for KEANE in regard to their continous and laudable commitments to improve human beings's life, and to fact that they bring various supports to build a better world... But as there's always something to spoil the picture : despite his artistic genius, the fame, money, etc, this man was suffering from an unrelenting and terrible human frailty and I have the feeling he's never been happy... Isn't it the worse things, actually ?... Rest in peace Michael !... It's so touching to read all these expressions of sympathy and sadness coming from the whole world... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmxT21uFRwM

Ciao Richard, che bella sorpresa stamattina aver trovato tutte queste fantastiche foto !!! Io come sempre sono a scuola per gli esami di terza media dei miei alunni ! Ieri poi i miei alunni hanno suonato benissimo, a tutti i professori delle altre materie è piaciuta tantissimo l' esibizione di una mia allieva che ha suonato la celebre colonna sonora del film " Titanic " !!! Oggi invece suoneranno l' allegretto di Mozart e una musica di Haydn! Grazie Rich per tutti questi aggiornamenti , sei un vero tesoro, sei una persona meravigliosa! Mando tanti tanti saluti anche a Tim, Tom , Jesse e a tutti i vostri cari collaboratori, a presto da Sabrina !!!

"Heal the World", another great song.

Posted by Mihajasoa on 2009-06-26 07:55:37

Michael Jackson was a great, talented and prolific artist.I also like the songs of The Jackson Five, Can You Feel It for instance. But I'll always be grateful for Michael Jackson for coming up with the idea of We are the World, which he wrote in one day with Lionel Richie. That song had a real impact I think. Radios kept played it and there was a great spirit among people. Michael Jackson also wrote the Earth Song. He cared for the planet too. May God bless his soul.

Posted by Mihajasoa on 2009-06-26 07:47:52

"Tim" is short for "hours" in sweden (the sign to the left of the owl)

Posted by emmia on 2009-06-26 07:47:47

Re Michael Jackson. He had a great impact on pop with dance tunes like Thriller and Billie Jean. What a rollercoaster life. I never bought any of his music but a song that meant something to me personally was 'Ain't No Sunshine'. An amazing voice. Hey Tom, hope you are ok today. x

Posted by JaneA on 2009-06-26 06:54:52

Ah, lovely owl:), and frog is so funny:D Thanks Richard!!

Posted by asak720 on 2009-06-26 04:46:04

R.I.P. Michael Jackson...This is a terrible loss, but he will always be remembered as the King of Pop and bring inspiration to many. Thanks to him for leaving his mark. I know that Tom is a big fan (and most likely the rest of the band) so I hope they do not take it too hard. Much love to Keane. From Jessica in L.A.

Posted by jess! on 2009-06-26 03:52:44

Querida banda, hoy es un día muy especial y me siento sumamente conmovida por la muerte de Michael Jackson. Tenía 13 años cuando escuché por primera vez sus primeras canciones las que me despertaron el amor por la música. Hoy, recordando la canción “I just can`t stop living you”, pude sentir que la dulzura y la serenidad de su voz se parecía mucho a la de Tom. Esto me dio consuelo y satisfacción, pues la música goza el privilegio de tener a Keane y M. J. entre sus mas dignas expresion. Gracias Keane por dejar expresarme y elevo una plegaria para Mike.- Carolina, from San Juan, Argentina

You seem to pick out some good subjects for all of these photos. The giant red top hat was cool, too! I could see Tom wearing that type of a hat in real life.

The pics are absolutely stunning, Richard... Thank you ! This city is so picturesque and I like the landscapes with a kind of quaint charm... About the gig of A CAMP : What a chance you have ! I'm green because I ♥ Nina PERSSON's voice... Oh, and there's also a very lovely owl in the video clip of Song For The Leftovers... By the way, you're quite right : this owl is so cute in close-up, but I hadn't noticed actually because the whole fresco is very beautiful... For some reason, I believe now that you're indeed a jinx !!!... So, this poor owl is fixed upon this wall probably since ages, but you're so attached to him that he shouldn't be long to fall over now... Go, say goodbye to all these owls and most important thing now→♥Have a safe trip back home♥ !!!

Thanks Richard for your thoughtfulness. Beautiful river,houses, something that looks like a bonfire. I see that Rachel already mentioned the owl. I think this one represents Minerva's indeed since there's also a winged horse that must be Pegasus, the horses of the Muses. I hope they'll give you much inspiration. By the way it's you who posted the statue of the mermaid, wasn't it ? I can't have seen it elsewhere than in km.com. Thanks a lot, it's really appreciated. I hope you're enjoying a camp. I wish you a nice travel back, a good weekend too!

Being in the crowd at least you get to see the other side of the coin being there.Richard what do you think of the waterboys the whole of the moon or sailing by christopher cross.I like them at the momant i suppose until you bring out some new songs i think i have worn out my last cd of yours.That big bird on a ledge reminds me of a bird in a 70s kids show cannot think what it was called.Look forward to seeing you in concert when you come back to sussex.

@ Rachel (Rio-BRAZIL)→Cool the words in French + very nice quote !... I always like to read your sweet words in regard to Tom & KEANE... Although this appears naively sentimental to most normal people, we are on the Cloud Number 9 and we like it here !!!... And what is more, KEANE is one of the best thing for leaving the earth for a short moment... Not bad ! Especially these days as there's a terrible raise of violence from all sides... ♥KEANE♥→Enjoy your day off + have sweet dreams and tomorrow the swedish festival has the most beautiful name of all fest of the world... By the way, my home is wholy furnished by a swedish giant ;) ♥Peace & Love♥ to everyone ☺!!!...

I loved the one with the signs, but didn´t you find one that said THIS WAY TO VIENNA? :)

Richard-This is magnificent! It is so great of you to support LMHR and UAF. I support the causes as well, but I'm not sure exact what I can do b/c now I live in the States. Love your pictures!

Salut ! De nouvelle photos : wow ! Je les adore, le chapeau rouge, le cheval ailé, les boîtes aux lettres, les fraises, le nombre 5, le corbeau (si c'en est un), le renard. Enfin, tout cela me parle beaucoup. C'est de l'art !

Posted by Hakim on 2009-06-24 13:25:38

The signs were great. I liked the one with "No Shooting" in the foreground and in the left background is the one for "George Bush Center for Intelligence." A reference to Bush the Elder, but still, ironic. And Violator remains one of my favorite albums. Sounds like Keane is enjoying good weather and fun and it is well-deserved because they've been touring hard.

Thank you for the night of my life yesterday. It was amazing. And thank you for bringing so much love. It was amazing! We love you!

Beautiful Copenhagen pictures Richard. Do we get to see a picture of your new hat? Also, do many people recognise you at festivals when you all go into the crowd to watch other bands?

¨¨¨¨ Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.

So lovely and humorous!! especially the signs, almost can make tourists "crazy"!!! Haha! and the pic of Jesse with sunglasses on makes me think of Backstreet Boys immediately!!! (I'm a fan of them too.) no offense.... =) Syrinx from Guangzhou, CHINA

Richard, thanks for the wonderful pictures of København. Particularly like the post boxes and the signs (very amusing). Glad to hear you guys have been in the studio; can't wait to hear the new recordings. And oh yes, let us see you in your new hat!

HI, Richard--as usual, your photos are ace, but this last group in particular really had me going! Maybe it's all the hot, bright colors (so happy! and must be nice to look at in the snow, too, I think) or the goofy signs or the awesome hats--did you get a cloche or a floppy hippy hat or a boho beret or just a baseball cap?--but this just seemed a super group of pics. Sounds like everyone's doing a bit of what makes you each happy; good on ya. See you in the fall! ellie

Posted by MIA-MIA on 2009-06-23 23:33:21

Oh, forgot to say: I hope you did watch die beste Band der Welt - Die Ärzte! I´ve seen them and they are really great! I was on a gig of Kiss and I have to confess, I liked them more, then Gene, Paul and the rest! hahhaaa in Stuttgart! But, Keane is still my favourite band even I want to run away! Hope the gig was mindblowing, hugs

Posted by Johanna on 2009-06-23 23:31:40

Lovely country and amazing pics !... That's indeed very colourful, and it must be still more enchanting in winter when multicoloured fronts of the houses are contrasted with the snow... It's so cold in winter over there that this "amazing deep red" is perfect to warm up people... Richard, congratulations for the whole pictures, and LMHR have announced on their merch section that : "Due to unexpected massive demand, we’ve temporarily sold out of the mens sizes in our LMHR t-shirt"... So did you also snoop around this merch ?!... Have a nice trip to Sweden !

Posted by Agnes(Fr-15/07/2007) on 2009-06-23 23:26:58

i think you guys are really awesome just walking around like normal people and thats great because you dont act like most famous people does you are like really humble !!! and that makes me like KEANE even better ( : Love Regis Keane

When I thought about a photoblog for Copenhagen, I wondered if a photo of the ubiquitous mermaid statue would be included... Been there a couple of times, seem to remember being disappointed with the size (of the mermaid) for some reason, delighted to see architecture shots instead. Good to hear the boys have got toys to play with...all this talk of recording vocals is definitely raising todays excitement level for me. x

Brilliant pics, Rich! It seems that Kobenhavn is very nice. Maybe I will visit this city. It isn't very far from Hamburg to Kobenhavn. Wish you all a beautiful day tomorrow and a nice and safe trip to Sweden! ~~~ Much love ... Silke ;)
