| It had to happen eventually. When you survey previous exports from the city of Las Vegas: an assortment of suspect hair metal bands; one-hit wonder Toni Basil; err Andre Agassi It was only ever a matter of time that a group would emerge from Sin City to wipe the slate ceremoniously clean, giving the inhabitants of that Nevadan outpost some fresh hope and an escape from their culturally underperforming past.

| A Tale of Killers Past
It was late 2002. Brandon Flowers (yes, it is his real name) 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 Keunings 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 wasnt 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 weve played at every single Killers show. |
