Keane at D.A.R. Constitution Hall

Keane’s Tim Rice-Oxley went to school with Coldplay’s Chris Martin, and even declined Martin’s early offer to join the soon-to-be-huge band. Instead, with Keane, Rice-Oxley set out for more modest success making its own dramatic and lush keyboard-based pop. Last year the band surprised everyone by adding guitars to the mix on its third studio set, Perfect Symmetry. Tuesday, May 19, 7:30 p.m. D.A.R. Constitution Hall, 1776 D St. NW. Tickets are $44.
