KANE UPDATE
Kane have been working extremely hard on their new album "Fearless" and successfully launched the fantastic new cd in Holland and Belgium, going platinum in Holland VERY quickly! The first single release in Holland - "Something To Say" went straight to number one and the second single release "Fearless" (out this week in Holland) looks set to follow suit. The band has a number of gigs lined up for the summer in both Holland and Belgium and hope to bring the rockin' new cd to more European countries (including the UK) soon. We'll keep you posted if we hear of any UK news. In the meantime, as well as Kane Korner, make sure you keep your eyes on www.kane.nl and www.kane-rocks.co.uk for ALL the Kane news. (5.8.05)

Return to Kane Korner
Kane are of course working on their forthcoming new album, tentatively scheduled for release around June in the UK and entitled "Fearless". Dennis posted two diary entries in the last couple of weeks from Los Angeles where work was continuing on the recording of the new album. Both diary entries can be viewed on the official Kane website www.kane.nl.(14.2.05)
Dennis posted on the official Kane website www.kane.nl yesterday (23.11.04) that the webcam is on its way and will hopefully be up and running in the next 24 hours. There is also talk of a "chat box" to look forward to! (24.11.04)
Also within the last week, Kane announced the new title for their forthcoming (and much anticipated!) new album. The band are now in the studio in Brussels working on "All Or Nothing At All" currently scheduled for a release around June sometime. (24.11.04)
A replacement for Dion has been announced in the last week, the new Kane bass player is Yolanda Charles from the UK!! Yolanda is an accomplished bass player and has previously toured with Robbie Williams. (24.11.04)
Yep, all that voting paid off as Kane were announced winners of the "Best Benelux" (Holland & Belgium) award at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Rome last Thursday 18th November. BIG CONGRATULATIONS to them on their 3rd win!! (24.11.04)
Dinand has posted a message on our good friend Gina's guestbook updating on the latest UK Kane news. You can read about the originally planned UK 2004 tour as well as future new album plans by visiting www.kane-rocks.co.uk and heading for the guestbook. (20.10.04)
Kane have been nominated for the "Best Group Benelux" (formerly "Best Dutch Group) at the MTV Awards in Rome on November 18th. Soulwax, Novastar (both from Belgium), The Cheer and Tiesto are also nominated but we think you'll agree there can only be one winner for this category - Kane! Please join us in taking a moment to vote for them at www.mtv.nl (11.10.04)
As confirmed by Dennis at www.kane.nl Dion is leaving the band to join another Dutch band called Intwine. We'd like to wish Dion all the best with his new venture and add that he'll be missed. (11.10.04)
With thanks to Gina for the heads up, you can find an album review of "What If" in the November issue of Classic Rock magazine - 3 out of 5 too - great stuff! (30.9.04)
We'd just like to wish Dinand a very Happy Birthday from everyone here at World of Rock - may all your dreams come true. Cheers! (6.9.04)
On Sunday 29th August 2004 Kane began their first dalliance with the UK charts, entering at number 38 with their UK debut single "Rain Down On Me". This is a fine achievement considering so many of World of Rock's favourite bands fail to make an impression on the charts these days. Congratulations to Kane on what promises to be the start of a very succesful UK career. (6.9.04)
Yep, you guessed it, while we were away..... hehe Kane also made their second appearance on Top Of The Pops, this time for Top Of The Pops Saturday on 28th August. The band not only performed a cracking version of "Rain Down On Me" but also made an appearance with 'cheeky dog' and gamely ventured into the confession booth! Nice one! (6.9.04)
Boy, how much did we miss while we were away?! Dinand popped into the Virgin Radio studios for a chat with Ben Jones on 25th August and chatted about the history behind Kane, the new single "Rain Down On Me" and also mentioned plans to do some shows in the UK later this year. The number of shows will depend on how "Rain Down On Me" does but Dinand also mentioned the possibility of festivals next year and the fact that next year will be a very busy one for them! Sounds good to us - can't wait for a UK tour. Ben also invited Kane to come back to Virgin and play a live set in the future. (6.9.04)
Single reviews for the FAB "Rain Down On Me" appeared on the following websites:- Tiscali, Top of the Pops, MSN and OneTel. The only review which can still be currently viewed is the very complimentary review over at Tiscali. (6.9.04)
Also while away Kane were added to The Sun newspaper website! Wow! You can still view the video to "Rain Down On Me" and read about the band by visiting The Sun website Here. Kane also appeared on the Apple website Here but that particular feature has now been taken down. (6.09.04)
While we were away on holiday several Kane items appeared on various websites including the addition of Kane to the Click2Music website. To view their profile, click Here (6.09.04)
Today's the day we've all been waiting for - the UK release of "Rain Down On Me"!! The single is available on 2 cd's - one featuring the radio edit of RDOM and "Mother", with the other featuring the album version of RDOM, the Tiesto remix, the Tiesto Dub, an acoustic version of RDOM and the Tiesto remix edit no less! Make sure you buy your copies - we're off to get ours..... (23.08.04)
The single is reviewed on channel four's "Launchpad" (page 353) today and reads as follows:-
Debut single by a Dutch band whose main card is the breathless intensity of singer Dinand Woesthoff. Surrounded here by a huge production a would-be epic - overblown but still likeable."
A short interview with Dinand and Dennis appeared in yesterday's (22nd August 2004) "Funday Times" - a supplement found in "The Sunday Times". The interview can be found on page 5 of the supplement and discusses how Kane were formed and musical influences. (23.8.04)
Snap shots from the 13th August 2004 Top of the Pops show featuring Kane can be viewed Here - just ignore the pathetic captions! (23.8.04)
A brand new Kane e-card has been issued to mark the release of "Rain Down On Me" on 23rd August 2004. This fantastic e-card contains a whole bunch of exciting features including an exclusive visual interview with Dinand and Dennis about the "Rain Down On Me" video, the chance to get FREE Kane Wallpaper, video links to watch the video, an album sampler, links to buy the single & album, fansite links and more.... phew!

Dennis updated www.kane.nl yesterday with news of their first UK single release (Rain Down On Me on 23rd August 2004) and finished with the teasing sentence "Go check out your local (record) store on monday and come see one of our live shows, soon to be announced on this website!" How excited are we?! (20.08.04)
Not only did we hear that Dinand was on Virgin Radio in the evening of 18th August, but Gina heard Ben Jones state that Kane will be live in the studio next week! Definitely something to look forward to! (20.08.04)
If you visit http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyonder/getContent.jspx?page=wd_music you'll find an interesting interview with Dinand and Dennis where they discuss musical influences, English audiences and future ambitions.

Check out Gina's www.kane-rocks.co.uk and click on the "articles" section to see for yourself! (20.08.04)

Ok, this is our opportunity to make sure there are PLENTY of "Kane Spottings" on The Box! The release of the single is about 10 days away and so it's now more important than ever that we all keep requesting the video on The Box; it really will make a difference.... there are still plenty of people that won't have yet come across Kane (and let's face it, once they've seen the video they'll be hooked!) and so we need to do all we can to make sure they get that chance to hear about them. "Rain Down On Me" is video number 148 and the telephone number is 09056 525111 - just make sure you have permission from whoever pays the bill first! Thanks everyone - together we can do this!
