(Kayos) On September 30, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release Keane Curate A Night For War Child on DVD. A concert with a cause, this night of pop music bliss has the Grammy-nominated English trio hosting an all-star event in the hopes of raising 1.5 million pounds for the War Child charity.
War Child was developed to aid children in war-ridden countries. Currently, they are lending their assistance to children in Iraq. Through various projects, such as rehabilitation programs and emergency relief, War Child saves children caught in the crossfire of war, and seeks to give them hope for the future. Keane are longtime supporters of this organization.
Held at the Brixton Academy in London on November 1, 2007, A Night For War Child brought various artists together to aid the cause. Performances include rousing sets by Keane, synth-pop icons Pet Shop Boys, Lily Allen, Teddy Thompson (son of Richard Thompson), Findlay Brown, Brendan Benson, and The Magic Numbers.
After teasing the audience with several cameos behind Brendan Benson and Lily Allen (who makes sure to include her chart-topping hit "Smile"), Keane closes out the evening, featuring their hits "Somewhere Only We Know," "Everybody's Changing," and an uplifting rendition of Queen's "Under Pressure." In the end, the night is a huge success, having both raised a substantial amount of money and bringing together a collective of diverse musicians for a night of quality entertainment.
Along with last year's show, Keane has also had ample success this year in their own career. Shortly after uploading single "Spiralling" as a free track on their website (Keanemusic.com), the track received 500,000 downloads, and was Universal/Island's most popular free download ever. Their new album, Perfect Symmetry, drops October 13.
