New (Ugly) T-Shirt

The Island Records shop has a new Keane t-shirt for sale for 18 pounds (= a lot of US dollars for a shirt). I'd buy anything with Keane on it, but this shirt isn't too appealing...

Keane will play the Oxegen 2005 festival the weekend of July 9-10 at Punchestown Racecourse, Naas nr. Dublin. They will play alongside acts such as Green Day and Prodigy.
