With Spiralling (inspired in Pigmalion), Better than This or Perfect Symmetry which gives its name to their third album, KEANE shows the frivolity of the human race.

That’s how we found the english band after a year full of concerts, prizes and the best places on the music charts. This monster of the pop music seems to conqueer everybody’s heart.

This band was created with the millennium and ever since tried to brake the barriers between hardcore and sub genders, however there’s not an easy label for this quintet. they call themselves “emo/hardcore/screamo”, but the truth is that there is no way to talk about labels (most of the time) when you refer to music. After productions like “When Broken is Easily Fixed, Discovering the Waterfront, and Arrivals & Departures, we expect a pic from their new album (still on work). ;)

 Time: 6pm

Ticket Price: $75 (pesos argentinos)

Place: Super Rock (Sarmiento 777)

Box office: Hard Rock Cafe, Pueyrredon 2501. / La Trastienda Club, Balcarce 460. / Junin 1930 (Recoleta).
