The band with no guitars


I just found this in the http://torr.typepad.com/weblog/.
I think is very good rendition from Keane of the song "She Sells Sanctuary" from the original group The Cult.
Keane are known for using a pianos as their lead instrument instead of guitars , significantly differentiating them from most rock bands.

It can be found in the CD single named Bad Dream Pt.2, along with the 3 versions of the song Bad Dream .
This song has been featured in numerous commercials and films.
This song is played during one of the best "product placement" " ever done on film, on "Layer Cake" with Daniel Craig , during the scene of the Audi driving in the English countryside.
I recommend this film as well, as the soundtrack.
Very seldom the music matches so well each scene like in "Layer Cake".
This is Keane's version of "She Sells Sanctuary" [4:36]
And this the original English band The Cult with the lead singer Ian Astbury,video for The Cult's original.
Really good music...
