Keane / New Slang

Thursday 19th September at New Slang, 9:00pm (18+)

Marking the release of their fifth full length album titled Cause And Effect, the legendary brit-poppers Keane visit Kingston to play an 18+ show at New Slang.

The birth of this new album came as something of a surprise even to the band. Singer Tom Chaplin had released two successful solo albums but missed his old sparring partner Tim Rice-Oxley. “I found myself wondering how I had come to let this very enigmatic and important relationship in my life drift,” Tom says.

Meanwhile Tim found his life falling apart and from the ashes had written an album’s worth of incredibly personal songs fuelled by humour as well as pain. When Tom, bassist Jesse Quin and drummer Richard Hughes heard the songs, they were immediately drawn to them both sonically and lyrically.

“Hopes and Fears was a break-up album too, but it was about a break-up when I was 19,” Tim explains. “It’s a bit different when you’re older and you’ve got kids – your whole little world shifts on its axis.”

CD/ticket is £18 post-paid, and other formats and combos are available.

New Slang is an over 18s event, and is strict on ID. Please bring photo ID with you on the night, whatever age you are.
