Keno
Interview / Songs
1. Elation
2. 22

Each Monday I look forward to a few things, hearing new records meeting new people and have a good beer, so when my special guests
Keno offered to grab me one, I never thought they would come back with 5 High Lifes.  Usually bands take advantage of the free drinks
with something other than the Champaign, but not Keno, last night they were there to celebrate…what I don’t know.

We did eventually even things out with a Guinness and a great night of music.   The thing with these summer sessions is it stays brighter
inside so much longer, completely changing the feel of the café.  So we had to play some nice upbeat music for people to type too; we did a
pretty good job until I decided to through on some Nick Cave (sometimes even your all-time favorite needs the right setting).   Here is what
we played…

Silversun Pickups – Carnivas
Say Anything – Is a Real Boy
White Stripes – Elephant
William Elliott Whitmore – Keep the Fuzz Off My Buzz
Bloc Party – Silent Alarm
Manchester Orchestra – Mean Everything to Nothing
Wolf Parade – EP
Police – Synchronicity
Jimmy Eat World – Clarity
Ben Kweller – Changing Horses
Weezer – Make Believe
Nick Cave – The Good Son

Keno has been playing around Iowa for just about a year now, and are getting ready to go out on their first tour.  Over the year they have
recorded and released they’re debut EP  “The Sky is Alive in This Cold City”, and are ready for some time out of school doing what they
love.  Download the interview to find out more, plus the two acoustic songs we recorded at Sonic Factory.  It was their first time ever
playing acoustic.
