As promised, here’s a video of Keane performing at the 40 Principales Gala, in Madrid. They only performed The Lovers are Losing (pity!) but it was an amazing performance nevertheless 
as usual Keane style.
Thanks very much to KeaneMusicArgentina for uploading this!
American radio station KCRW has posted on their site the video of Keane’s small interview and performance they did last week, when they visited them in California. They perform various songs from Perfect Symmetry: “The Lovers are Losing”, “Again and Again”, “You Don’t See Me”, “You Haven’t Told Me Anything”, “Spiralling”, “Perfect Symmetry”, and more.
In between the songs there’s bits of questions answered mostly by Tom, they talk on everything between their latest album and the experiences recording it, to the addition of Jesse in the band’s logistics. The video is about 40 minutes long.

What did you think about it? Great show, I loved how organic and relaxing it seemed to be

Amazing news Keane will start to release a new set of EPs, and quoting their post, they will be “a special new run of digital retrospective EPs, which will only be available via the keanemusic.com shop. The idea is that these EPs will bring together some of the rarest Keane tracks, giving the band’s most loyal fans (ie you lot) the chance to own them.” How cool is that!? The first EP has been released already, and it’s all about Everybody’s Changing:
We begin with an Everybody’s Changing-themed collection of songs. For £3.95, you’ll get the following tracks as high-quality MP3s (which means they’ll play on any player, including iPods). None of these are available elsewhere - and the video chat has been made especially.

As promised before, here’s the peformance of Keane on the Ellen Degeneres show, that aired yesterday on ABC:
What did you think of it? It’s a bit faster than usual, I think, but still amazing. What do you think of it??
Hey, check this out: Tim has posted a pretty intresting work on the official site, on which he talks about what he and the band have been up to, which includes gigs, radio stops, and working with Kanye West:
What a strange week in the life of Keane. Exactly a week ago I was sitting on the Eurostar in a half-sleep, having just played the last gig of our European tour in Paris and then spent the entire night in the studio with Kanye West. He played us the whole of his new album, which sounded truly awesome - the bass was so fat that eventually the mixing desk blew up. I was especially pleased when he picked out a line from Spiralling (”When we fall in love, we’re just falling in love with ourselves”) as being a personal favourite, as it’s my favourite line I’ve ever written. Hurrah. Then Kanye did some work on one of our tracks, and after that I sat in a corner and watched him do his thing on a song for Jamie Foxx. The whole thing was a real privilege and I learned a lot. I wish I had Kanye’s energy…and his dress sense! Will work on it.
The Paris gig was a great way to end the tour - I think we were all slightly taken aback by the noisy enthusiasm of the French crowd, but in addition it was a particular highlight of the tour for me because we had Ladyhawke supporting us. Pip is a great songwriter and musician, and her album is one of the best of the year in my opinion. I hadn’t ever seen her play live, so that was a real thrill…
