Dominic Scott is an Irish guitarist, born in Dublin and the founder of the English rock band Keane.
[edit] Keane
In 1995 he asked his friend Tim Rice-Oxley to form a band to play covers from U2, Oasis and The Beatles. They invited Richard Hughes for the drums. The band was called "The Lotus Eaters" from 1995 to 1997. In 1997 their name changed to "Keane", and they invited Rice-Oxley's friend Tom Chaplin to join the band.
Member of the Student Economic Review, Trinity College, Dublin 1998.
Scott left in July 2001, after the single "Wolf at the Door" apparently due to musical differences with the other songwriter of the band Tim Rice-Oxley but his exit seemed to have been amicable.[1] Keane posted a message on their official page in November 14, 2001 saying this:
"One sad piece of news for us is that in July our guitarist Dom decided to leave the band and return to his studies at LSE. We wish him all the best with that. Dom's departure does give us scope to develop our sound in new directions, and the new recordings reflect the love of more electronic and ambient music that inspired us to start writing songs in the first place. The sound is still unmistakably Keane - epic and dreamlike - but we're confident we've captured a new level of energy and atmosphere on tape.".[2]
Rice-Oxley commented in Mexico: "Dom is a great fan of U2 so maybe we'll meet in New York" (Because of U2's gig openings by Keane in October 2005.)
