History

Formation and early success (2001–2003)

In 2001, Brandon Flowers was abandoned by the first band that he was in, a synthpop band known as Blush Response,[2] after he declined to move with the rest of them to Los Angeles, California. He then met David Keuning after responding to an ad that Keuning had placed in the newspaper.[2] Ronnie Vannucci Jr. and Mark Stoermer were approached by Flowers and Keuning with an offer to join "The Killers", a name which comes from the bass drummer of a band in a New Order video for their song "Crystal".[2] This article is about the musician. ...

Initially, The Killers played at large clubs in Las Vegas, Nevada. With the band's lineup 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 indie label Lizard King. The Killers then signed that summer to a British label.[3]


Hot Fuss (2003–2005)

They released their album Hot Fuss on June 7, 2004 in the United Kingdom on London-based indie record label Lizard King Records (now Marrakesh Records), and June 15 in the United States on Island Records.[4] Hot Fuss has been classified 4x Platinum by the BPI[5] and 3x Platinum by RIAA.[6] The band also had chart success with their singles "Mr. Brightside", which reached the Top 10 in the UK when released,[7] and "All These Things That I've Done".[8] However, their main mainstream success came when they scored a number three chart position with their re-release of "Somebody Told Me".[4] Not to be confused with Hot Fuzz. ... is the 158th day of the year (159th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Sam's Town (2005–2007)

The Killers' second album, Sam's Town, was released on October 2, 2006, in the UK, and October 3 in the USA, under Island Def Jam Music Group.[9] Brandon Flowers said that Sam's Town will be "one of the best albums of the past twenty years,"[10] though the album has received a mixed response from critics and fans,[11] it has still remained popular and sold over a million copies as of January 2007.[12] The first single from Sam's Town, "When You Were Young", debuted on radio stations on July 25, 2006.[13] The single then entered the chart on downloads alone at #5, and the following week on its official release went to #2 on the UK Singles Chart.[14] It was unable to knock Scissor Sisters off the top spot.[14] Their single, "Bones", was the second video from the band, and was directed by Tim Burton.[15] This article is about the album by The Killers. ... is the 275th day of the year (276th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Sawdust (2007–2008)

The compilation album called Sawdust, containing B-sides, rarities, and some new material, was released on November 12, 2007. Since then, Sawdust has been classified Gold by the BPI.[19] The album's first single "Tranquilize", a collaboration with Lou Reed, was released October 12, 2007, in the UK, and on October 22, 2007, in the U.S.[19] The band also released their cover of Joy Division's "Shadowplay" on the U.S. iTunes Store on October 9, 2007.[20] The band released the video for "Tranquilize" at Yahoo Music. Lou Reed also makes an appearance on the video.[21] The album also contains the songs "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town", (a The First Edition cover), "Romeo and Juliet", (a Dire Straits cover), and a new version of "Move Away", (previously available on the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack).[22] One of the tracks on Sawdust is "Leave the Bourbon On The Shelf", the first but previously unreleased part of the so called "The Killers murder trilogy", in which it is followed by "Midnight Show", then "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine". "Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf" is about the motive and planning of the crime which, according to Flowers, involves water, but the victim (Jenny) does not drown. "Midnight Show" is the act and attempted escape, and "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine" is the capture and interrogation of the perpetrator. In 2005-2006 the band informally announced a 'music videoesc' mini movie (considering none of the trilogy became singles) to tide fans over between the release of "Hot Fuss" and "Sam's Town". This was at the very least postponed considering no further statement has been released regarding the project.[23] The Killers released a Christmas song called "Don't Shoot Me Santa", on December 1, 2007. The song, like "A Great Big Sled", benefits Bono's Product Red campaign to fight AIDS in Africa. The recording was not included on Sawdust.[24] Singles from Sawdust Released: October 9, 2007 Released: October 12, 2007 Sawdust is a compilation of rerecorded B-sides, rarities, covers and remixes by the Las Vegas rock band The Killers. ... is the 316th day of the year (317th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Currently, the album is stated to be recorded before the band plays Reading and Leeds in August 2008.[25]. Flowers has stated that there is no concept for the third album yet. [26]. He did say the band should be heading in the studio in June and it would be produced by Stuart Price.

Influences

Much of The Killers' music is based on British influences (indeed, the band is often described as the "Best British band to have come out of America") and on the music of the 1980s. They appreciate post-punk bands that sprang up in the late 70s and early 80s, such as Joy Division (having recorded a cover of the song "Shadowplay"), and they are also avowed fans of New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, Dire Straits, David Bowie, The Smiths, Morrissey, Depeche Mode, U2,[27] Queen, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Oasis, Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, The Strokes, The Cars and Smashing Pumpkins.[28] Post punk generally refers to the particularly fertile and creative period following the initial punk rock explosion.

Controversy

Since going platinum, the band (and principally Flowers) has incited a few rivalries - most notably with The Bravery and Fall Out Boy, who are both labelmates (Island Records). Flowers has said that these bands, especially The Bravery, are riding on the coattails of the success of The Killers.[33] Additionally, in an article of NME, Flowers claimed Fall Out Boy was hogging the A&R man both bands share, setting off Fall Out Boy's bassist Pete Wentz.[34] However, after Wentz made a couple of rants on his blog in September 2005, he offered a virtual cease-fire.[34] Flowers has since apologized to The Bravery, Fall Out Boy, and Panic! at the Disco, saying "I'd like to take it all back - these people are just doing what they want to do, just like I am," and said that he was "not proud of" his occasional jealousy.[35] The Bravery is an American rock band from New York City that consists of Sam Endicott, John Conway, Anthony Burulcich, Michael Zakarin, and Mike Hindert. ...

In February 2006, The Killers' former manager, Braden Merrick, filed a lawsuit alleging breach of contract when he was fired in May 2005. Merrick's contract was to have run through 2007, and the two sides had been negotiating a settlement before the lawsuit was filed.[36] The Killers are currently fighting a lawsuit against ex-manager Braden Merrick under the California State Labor Commissioner. Merrick is suing The Killers for $3 million for unpaid commissions. The band claims that Merrick booked employment without a license, and thus are seeking to void their management contract. Flowers was seen on camera outside the court with Keuning on TMZ.com on December 19, 2007, saying "Well, we like people to be honest."[37] Civil action redirects here. ...
