 Buoyed by the fact that Keane was judged in a U2 fan poll to be the second best supporting act in the band's history (trailing only The Pixies and well ahead of the likes of Lone Justice and Little Steven), Keane approached the Under the Iron Sea tour with a newfound aggressiveness.No longer attempting to somehow minimise the band's simple instrumental lineup, Keane instead highlighted it both visually and in terms of sound.The "Daily Mirror" reported that not since Elton John in the 1970s had a performing band so willfully promoted piano as a replacement for guitar in the concert scheme of things.
