Despite the shared reputation for sin that Las Vegas and Rock music have, Vegas has never been a hotbed of music hall of famers. With The Killers, Sin City has produced a truly talented act. Consisting of Brandon Flowers on vocals and keyboards, David Keuning on guitar, Mark Stoermer on bass and Ronnie Vannucci on drums, the Killers made an impression with their album "Hot Fuss." Combining catchy lyrics and a sound that mixes 80s synth-pop with contemporary alternative music sound, the Killers have had smash successes with "Mr. Brightside" and "Somebody Told Me."
It's been a banner year for the Killers. The Las Vegas foursome released an excellent album, Day and Age ; launched a world tour ; collaborated with Elton John ; wowed with an orchestral performance on 'Letterman'; rocked SNL (in feathered outfits , no less); and generally ruled the music game like the slick chrome American princes Brandon Flowers sings about.
