[edit] History

Following a series of successful live performances since 1998 and one day after the release of Hopes and Fears, Keane started a promotional tour for the album, debuting at the Forum in London on May 11, 2004. The tour started to become more serious, with hundreds of people attending to the gigs. Soon, they went off to North America, visiting for the first time Canada and Mexico, where they had gradually became popular. The tour continued throughout 2004 playing several times in the United States and Europe. In October and soon after were composed by Rice-Oxley, Nothing In My Way (called Nothing In Your Way) and Hamburg Song were included in the set list, leading Chaplin to play the Hammond organ for both songs. The idea of filming a documentary appeared in 2005 and Ed Roe, an early fan of Keane, was in charge, so they decided to film during the summer of that year, when Keane were touring the USA. They continued playing during August and September in the USA (returning once to Mexico) to finally close the tour with the opening acts for U2's Vertigo Tour during October. The Strangers DVD containing the documentary was released on November 15 2005.
