The Killers Tickets
- Avg. Customer Rating:
Few bands rose so quickly to the forefront of pop music as Las Vegas quartet The Killers. With a mix of '80s-styled synth pop and fashionista charm, the band's debut album Hot Fuss became one of 2004's biggest releases, spawning four singles and catapulting the group into the international spotlight. Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, and the Bravery all benefited from such retro-minded interest, but the Killers trumped them all -- even when their sophomore effort, Sam's Town, deemphasized the group's new wave sensibilities in favor of something more akin to the heartland rock of Bruce Springsteen and Rattle and Hum-era U2.

The Killers Information
It was late 2002. Brandon Flowers had been dumped by his one previous group, a synth-pop outfit named Blush Response, when he refused to move with the rest of the band to L.A. Cruelly ditched, but inspired by seeing Oasis play (incredibly, the Brothers Grim had made it all the way to Vegas in one piece) he saw that his life needed more guitars. When he clocked Dave Keuning's small ad in a local paper naming that band as an influence - and what with Oasis not exactly factoring in the pasty Vegas music scene - he took it as fate that they should be together. "He was the only person to reply to my ad who wasn't a complete freak", remembers Dave, fondly. "He came over with his keyboard and we started going through song ideas straight away. I had the verse to "Mr Brightside" and he went away and wrote the chorus. That was the first song we wrote together and remains the only song that we've played at every single Killers show".
After trying out a couple of different bass players and drummers, Brandon and Dave met Ronnie Vannucci, a photographer at the Little Chapel of Flowers and student of classical percussion at UNLV, and Mark Stoermer, who was making ends meet as a medical courier (blood, urine, the odd body part - all glamour). In between these couldn't-make-it-up day-jobs (Brandon, for the record, was a bellhop at the Gold Coast Hotel; whilst Dave garnered valuable training for his current all-the-ladies-love-an-axeman dilemmas whilst enjoying trysts with lady-shoppers at his Banana Republic job) the newly-complete Killers set to writing what we can assuredly state to be one of the most exciting debut albums you'll have heard in a very, very long time.
