Las Vegas, United States (2002 – present)

1) The Killers are a rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2002 and made up of Brandon Flowers (vocals, keyboards), Dave Keuning (guitar, backing vocals), Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion). Their first two albums to date have sold in excess of 12 million copies worldwide combined. They got their name from the video for “Crystal”, by the British band New Order.

Initially, The Killers played at large clubs in Las Vegas. With the band’s line-up stable and their repertoire of songs expanding, the band began to attract attention from talent bookers, local agents, major label, scouts — and a UK representative for Warner Bros. Though the Warner Bros representative passed on the band, he took the demo back with him, showing it to a friend who worked at UK (London-based) indie label Lizard King Records (now Marrakesh Records). The Killers then signed in the summer of 2002 to a British label.

They released their debut album “Hot Fuss” on June 2004 in the United Kingdom and US (on Island Records). Their first single was “

Somebody Told Me”. The band also had chart success with their singles “

Mr. Brightside,” which reached the Top 10 in the UK when released, and “

All These Things That I’ve Done”.

The band started recording their second album, “Sam’s Town” on February 15, 2006, at The Palms Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas. It was released on October 2006. Lead singer, Brandon Flowers said that Sam’s Town is “one of the best albums of the past 20 years”.

It's sad that I have been a fan for so long and have never seen them. As soon as they come back to FL, I am going to follow them around the state with my friend. I'm already saving up! Ugh, November is SO long to wait! :)

the only problem i have with hot fuss, is that a couple of the songs got way over played on radio, and i still cant listen those songs very often. rest of the album is awesome though. but i like sam's town a lot too, and sawdust as well. really hanging out for the new album

"over and in, last call for sin..." Hot Fuss was one of my favorite albums of 2004. I didn't really dig Sam's Town though o_0

All these things that i've done has garnered a cult following for the lyrics "i've got soul but i'm not a soldier" the concert with U2 and others incorporating the lyrics, commercials, and it's feature in the movie southland tales have boosted it's popularity.
