Artist Biography
The Killers are a rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada.
They released their debut album Hot Fuss in summer 2004 to critical success, and the album has been certified platinum four times. Hits from the album include "Somebody Told Me," "Mr Brightside," "Smile Like You Mean It," and "All These Things That I've Done." Hailing from Las Vegas, lead singer Brandon Flowers, guitarist Dave Keuning, bassist Mark Stoermer and drummer Ronnie Vannucci came together in 2002 and wrote many of their songs in Vannucci's garage. Influenced by bands such as New Order (they got their name from the video for 'Crystal'), the Cure and the Smiths, their new-wave synthtastic sound has started a trend of similar bands, most noticeably the Bravery. Reaching the top 10 in both the United States and the United Kingdom, The Killers played their hit song "All These Things That I've Done" at the Live 8 concert in 2005.
