Keane chat to I Like Music

ILM: At last year's Brits you walked away with Best Album and Breakthrough Act. What's it like standing up there having won an award, gaining recognition?

RICHARD: It's very cool. We basically don't care what happens as long as we get our music out and people connect with it, but it does feel nice to have a statue to put in the bathroom.

ILM: How are things going for you in the US?

RICHARD: Very well, thanks. We've toured there a lot, because it's absolutely massive. For example, we drove from a gig in San Diego to a gig in Denver - over a thousand miles and 20 hours straight through.

You get to watch the world go by - see landscapes you don't get in Europe, and just hang out. Long drives are a great way to just sit and chat, and buy rubbish you don't need at truck stops. I have so much shit at home that I just bought out of boredom. A service station in the UK is just this place full of huge piles of total crap - you wonder who buys it, but in the States it's exotic crap, and we end up spending hours comparing what we've bought. You also get great breakfasts in places like cracker barrel, and coffee that'll keep you awake for weeks.
