Keane, much like several other contemporary British acts have the terrible luck of getting record deals around the time Coldplay and David Gray became world-renowned acts – and unfortunately to the untrained, American ear, there’s almost very little sonic difference between Keane, South and others.

Mike’s first show after Coventry was just a few weeks later at moe.down 5 in Turin, NY, where he first performed a full show with the Benevento/Russo Duo. This trio would perform their first string of shows later that year for a New Year’s Run in 2004. It was fitting that Mike, the only member of the band who voiced his disagreement with the bands decision to break up, brought a number of Phish originals to the stage the first night of the run including Lengthwise (Fishman), Foam (Anastasio) , Mike’s Song (Gordon) & Cars, Trucks Buses (McConnell).
