Blog: Stereogum

Wow, it's sorta been awhile since we've heard from the Killers. Almost feels like, oh say 20 years (in blog time; actually it's barely been eight months ). Last night the band played a fan club show at Highline Ballroom last night (i.e. we were not there) and premiered a couple of new tunes. Since the disappointing (though not without its moments ) Sam's Town , it would appear that Brandon Flowers remembered how to shave, how not to ape the Boss (see: "Neon Tiger"), and, on the crowd-rousing "Spaceman," how to write a hook.
