Innovative promotional concert to be filmed at Abbey Road featuring a lengthy castlist of creative talent
By Robert Ashton
KEANE WILL CEMENT THEIR REPUTATION as one of the most technologically- friendly, envelope-pushing bands of the moment when they broadcast the world's first live broadcast in 3D next month.
The historical event takes place on April 2, when the Island act will play five songs in a 20-minute set from their current album Perfect Symmetry, live from Abbey Road's famous Studio Two.
"It's never been done before with music, so it's nice that it has that historical aspect to it. It is also in Studio Two where The Beatles recorded," says Keane manager Adam Tudhope.
He cites the main reason for the 3D broadcast on keanemusic.com as "creative expression", and continues in the band's tradition of groundbreaking ideas following their release of the first USB stick single, Nothing In My Way, in 2006.
Tudhope adds Keane have been using their award-winning website creatively as a "broadcast outlet", with singer Tom Chaplin interviewing a series of celebrities. With around 200,000 users signed up, it is Universal's most popular artist site.
