About The Killers

In 2002, Brandon Flowers, the future vocalist of The Killers, was abandoned by the first band that he was in known as Blush Response after he declined to move with the rest of them to Los Angeles. After he was ditched, Flowers later responded to future The Killers’ guitarist David Keuning’s ad in the Las Vegas Weekly about forming a band which was inspired by The Cure or The Beatles. They later went through some bass guitarists and drummers until they found Mark Stoermer and Ronnie Vannucci to fill the posts. Among modern bands with similar influences to The Killers are Snow Patrol, The Strokes, and Coldplay. The great thing about music is that, though bands may have the same influences they often create totally different sounds, as is certainly the case here.

Before they had become a band, all four of them had various jobs: Brandon Flowers was a bellhop at the Gold Coast Hotel; David Keuning, who was originally from Iowa, worked at a Banana Republic store, at which he was rumored to have many trysts with some female customers in the dressing room; Mark Stoermer worked as a medical courier delivering various medical supplies—blood, urine, and body parts; Ronnie Vannucci was a student of classical percussion at UNLV and worked as a photographer at the Little Chapel of Flowers—where Britney Spears was temporarily hitched.

Their band name The Killers was taken from a New Order video titled Crystal. It was featured on the drums of a mock band in the video.

Word about The Killers spread across the Atlantic Ocean to the U.K where a London-based indie record label known as Lizard King caught their attention. They later signed up with them, and in the future, with Island RecordsThe band had also encountered various difficulties in reaching. The Killers band was shook by and earthquake during the recording of their song “Believe Me Natalie” at Lizard King, which drove drummer Ronnie Vannucci from his stool. They encountered fires in Simi Valley in order to record their song “Change Your Mind” in the American version of their single Hot Fuss and they thought they were going to die when their private jet hit an air pocket in December 2003 when flying to the U.K.

The band has first known when they released their first album Hot Fuss in 2004 on Island Records with their first single "Somebody Told Me", released on that same year.

When The Killers laid Mr. Brightside, on the Alt Rock public, everyone wanted to be part of The Killers' scene. Brightside sounded somewhat like Bowie's Queen Bitch and the effect wasn't lost on Killers fans, who themselves were likely to be keen followers of the glam rock 70s legend. The band had a chart sucess with their single "Mr.Brightside" and have also released an upcoming single titled "All These Things I've Done".
