Nevada

Feb 17, 2011, 9:41pm Space and Progress

Let's establish something from the get-go. Brandon Flowers loves Las Vegas. LOVES it. LOVES IT. He named his debut solo album Flamingo in honor of one of the city's famous hotels. His next album could be called LAS VEGAS: AWESOME and he could use the songs as a soundtrack for his campaign to become mayor. So there was no one else I could ever think of writing about when I got to Nevada. Not that there aren't a multitude of other artists associated with Vegas-- The Rat Pack, of course, as well as dozens of others [...]

KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas w/ Florence + Machine and Brandon Flowers

Dec 13, 2010, 10:07pm From Go to Whoa

For those of you who didn't get to see all the amazing acts streaming from KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas show over the weekend, here's a couple of highlights from the many many amazing performers. Florence and the Machine's performance of "Blinding" was in our opinion, just amazing beyond, and Brandon Flowers total performance, mixed with his own solo, some Killers songs, and covers was some of his best work yet.... just watch below the songs from both musos.... Florence and The Machine "Blinding" " Brandon Flowers, "Only The Young", "Mr. [...]

Brandon Flowers Covers Kim Carnes at Last US Show of Solo Tour

Dec 3, 2010, 10:36am Spinner.com

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News When you're from the land of make believe -- or, in the case of Brandon Flowers , a town just down the road -- a little self-deception is no big deal. "I know it's Thursday," Flowers, born just outside of Las Vegas, said Thursday night at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom, where he played what figures to be his final US show of 2010. "Let's pretend it's Saturday."

Video: The Killers “Boots”

Dec 2, 2010, 12:33pm SpeakerBoxxx

Each Christmas season, I always look forward to The Killers' annual Christmas single.  This year, my favourite Las Vegas boys have reunited for the single titled "Boots."  For those that aren't in the loop, lead singer Brandon Flowers has been busy on tour to promote his solo album, Flamingo.  The Christmas singles that The Killers come [...]

The Video For The Killers’ Holiday Charity Single “Boots” Is A Tearjerker

Dec 1, 2010, 2:21pm Idolator

The video for "Boots", the fifth annual Project RED holiday single by The Killers, appropriately premiered today, which is World AIDS Day. (Note that for every view of the clip today, Starbucks will donate 5 cents toward the RED campaign). And while it's light on actual Killers—only Flamenco frontman Brandon Flowers appears in the vid—it's heavy on tugs on the old heartstrings. Watch below. The "Boots" video, which references the Jimmy Stewart classic It's A Wonderful Life and was lensed by Napoleon [...]

The Killers Release New Christmas Single/Video “Boots”

Dec 1, 2010, 10:13am Merchants Of Rock

Continuing their tradition of releasing a Christmas single each year, Las Vegas' own Killers have unveiled their fifth festive tune today called "Boots". All proceeds from the Christmas singles benefit the Product Red campaign. Whether they are inspired by Santa's footwear or terrible U2 singles, one thing is sure, this is the only new Killers tune you will get for a while as the "on hiatus" band awaits Brandon Flowers' solo efforts to cool off. You can download the song here from itunes or watch the video below:

Check Out: The Killers’ Christmas single, “Boots”

Nov 30, 2010, 7:17am Consequence Of Sound

"Boots" is the title of The Killers' fifth consecutive Christmas single and considering it comes during the band's still ongoing hiatus, the fact all its proceeds benefit World's Aid Day isn't the only reason the song is an intriguing listen. So to summarize, only Barack Obama and Christmas have the power to reunite The Killers these days. For those interested in picking up a copy of their own, you can do so here . Hat tip to Some Kind of Awesome for the link.

The Killers don some X-mas “Boots”

Nov 15, 2010, 3:20pm Consequence Of Sound

Although their lead singer is still traipsing around the world on a solo tour, The Killers still managed to put together a fine Christmas gift for their fans. As they've been doing since 2006, the Las Vegas quartet, who's still on hiatus mind you , will continue the tradition by issuing "Boots" on November 30th (via NME ). No word on how it'll sound, or what this says about the band, but you can feel good in knowing that all proceeds from the single will go towards World AIDS Day, which falls on December [...]

Review: Brandon Flowers at the Wiltern

Nov 12, 2010, 4:23pm Buzz Bands

Brandon Flowers' flamboyant show at the Wiltern Theatre on Wednesday night was all about his voice, that big, booming instrument that's hardly ever dialed back on the material on his solo album, "Flamingo," an homage to his home Las Vegas. The highlight for me was when guitarist Andy Summers of the Police joined the Killers' frontman band onstage for the encore to perform "Roxanne."

Candy Claws' latest album "Hidden Lands" offers some pretty compelling lush orchestral pop — we gave you a taste of "Sunbeam Show" back in July, remember? ☛ Brandon Flowers (supported by the estimable Fran Healy ) plays the Wiltern behind [...]

[LP] BRANDON FLOWERS’ new album isn’t ONLY for THE YOUNG die-hard fans

Nov 4, 2010, 9:45pm The Burning Ear

tonight, baby, you can start again, laughing in the open air, have yourself another dream ♫ Brandon Flowers - Only The Young So Brandon Flowers' solo album came out 2 months ago already but I guess I didn't really rush to listen to it. Disappointing first single "Crossfire" combined with scathing reviews , left me wary of the whole endeavor. Then one day I caught the video for "Only The Young" (below) and had to stop for a moment. First to take in the hyper-dramatic beauty of the clip and [...]

Hot Video Alert: Brandon Flowers - Only The Young

Oct 31, 2010, 2:19am Music Is My King Size Bed

I had really hoped that Brandon Flowers ' debut solo effort would have made more of an impact on the charts but that doesn't appear to be the case. Flowers' album had all the makings of a hit record...a sound similar to The Killers . Stuart Price serving as producer. Sounds like a pop masterpiece to me. While the album had a reasonably strong debut at #8 on the Billboard 200 chart and taking the #1 spot on the UK album chart. Debut single, [...]

10/23: The Killers – Human (2008)

Oct 23, 2010, 8:00am Merchants Of Rock

This, the second song on the Killers latest release finds Brandon Flowers asking a question that I seem to always be asking myself, "Are we human, or are we dancers". A fun song from a really good album.

MUSIC VIDEO ROUNDUP: Lissie, Brandon Flowers & Uffie

Lissie - Everywhere I Go I first heard of Lissie when "Everywhere I Go" was featured as the swansong of Joss Whedon's short-lived cult tv show "Dollhouse". Since then, she certainly has gone far, having released a debut album and found moderate success in the UK. "Everywhere I Go" will now be her next UK [...]
