There's an in-depth, 5-page interview with Keane in the new issue of Q Magazine (Q317, December 2012), in which the magazine travelled to Asia to hang out with the band around the recent shows in South Korea and Japan. It also features some great photos, taken by the band's old friend Alex Lake.
The magazine is available from newsagents in the UK now, or digitally from the iTunes Store.

For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time You're having such a nice time...=) I'm very happy to love Keane Cause love's such an old fashioned word And love dares you to care for The people on the edge of the Night And love dares you to change our way of Caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is our last dance... hahaha hope to see you soon in Bangkok !
What is a classic song anyway? One that stands the test of time, does not bow to any fashion trend and delivers a universal message in an exquisite musical form.Sounds like Keane to me! A song that tops the chart for an eternity may only appeal to a small demographic at a given time. Bridge Over Troubled water, brilliant song, my mother loved it but it means little or nothing to my kids. How do you quantify a classic? By sales, by audience response, by the satisfaction of the composer? If the perfect song was penned where would the next challenge come from? I have my own Keane classic, my song, which delivers for me year after year. I'm sure that those who appreciate Keane would point to many a classic. Tim you have written inspired songs from the rousing anthem to the stripped back emotional ballad, timeless poetic and beautifully composed and I hope that you will continue to do so for as long as you feel the magic of creativity. Your audience will tell you time and again just how much your gift is appreciated.
My Dad once said: 'that's a big tree', on a walk...
I know what you mean 'that's a lovely wall' is just the sort of thing I would say mid conversation if something caught my eye.
I love to have that magazine I love the photos of Alex Lake I like to read of you and know how they are and how they think thanks for being in my life I love you and I wish you well.
Thought it was a great read you guys bring so much joy to so many people from all walks of life i am so happy to hear your music day in day out there is something for every mood love you guys looking forward to seeing you again in Manchester keep up the good work xxx
I loved the idea of Tim wandering around the countryside going: 'that's a nice wall'. It was very in depth, I could relate to a lot of it. I think that Tom's parents would've been very consicious of not being seen to show favouritism to their own kids, which is why they treated them the same as everyone else. I can understand why a sensitive child wouldn't see it that way and would feel ignored, but I'm sure that wasn't the intention. Self-depreciation is a very British thing- almost that you get the nasty comments about yourself in first so that no-one else can make them first. It's a defense mechanism but can be quite endearing in people if it's done with enough humour.
I cant believe that Tim thinks he hasn't written that classic song! I have at least 70 classic songs by Keane on my Ipod cant say the same for any other band that I like! Even my 10 year old said that Tim is a genius after hearing Neon on the River! Tom love your singing more than ever and Keane please don't split up - just slow it down a bit you are not as young as you used to be!
I just got my copy of the magazine!!!!! OMG!!! The photos are beyond amazing and if i may share an excerpt from the interview, this one's from Tim and here it goes, "The choices I've made being in the band have taken a severe toll on the relationships in my life." And this one's from Tom, "KEANE are like the band version of the Paralympics. Utterly disabled but powering through." i adore the photos.....i really hope the band won't split. Really.
Hi guys ! The photos are amazing and beautiful ! How are you ? The tour continues ! Thanks for the blog ! It allows me to follow the tour with you ! You must be tired because you sometimes do three shows to follow ...as Paris ! In any case, the show of Olympia Paris was really great, a very hight quality ! I admire you. Big kisses and stay the same. Thank you for your generosity to your fans. You are very nice ! See you soon ! :-) Florence ( Paris) .
Me encantaria ir a London city para ver el concierto. Tan próximo a las fiestas navideñas. En Arenas. Recuerdo un concierto en que els escenario eran las teclas del piano. Apoteósico. Ecliptante. Tom and Tim hacen salir los sentimientos i con Richard tocando y siguiendo el ritmo tan bien. La revista me la compraré cuando salga. He preguntado en un quiosco en Las Ramblas de Barcelona y la tendrán. Ya no sé si me estoy convirtiendo en coleccionista de Keane. Me ha marcado un momento difícil de mi vida casi 3 años y no se pueden olvidar. Des de Barcelona un fort petó. Y ojalá podés anar a Londres. Segur que serà un concert preciós.
@Chi thanks , my dear friend ^_^

ISA, from Brasil, São Paulo **** I´ve spent some minutes yesterday looking for the magazine in some stores nearby Paulista avenue, our main centre in the heart of São Paulo, but did not find it yet; probably I will find it today in a book shop that sells absolutely everything in the world, even if they have to bring to you some days afterwards. Let´s see. Great! I do love band Keane! Thanks for sharing this! XXXXX
