At first, the band was called "The Lotus Eaters." This was from 1995 to 1997. In 1997, they changed their name to "Keane." They also asked Tim's friend Tom Chaplin to be their main singer.

Dominic Scott Leaves Keane

Dominic left Keane in July 2001. This happened after the band released their song "Wolf at the Door." He left because he had different ideas about music than Tim Rice-Oxley. Tim was the other main songwriter in the band.

It seems Dominic left on good terms with the band. Keane posted a message about it on November 14, 2001. They said Dominic decided to leave to go back to his studies. The band wished him well. They also said his leaving would help them try new sounds. They wanted to explore more electronic and calm music. Keane felt their sound was still unique, like a dream, but with new energy.
