The Killers are no Choirboys?
“You become mindful that people are coming to see a band that’s well rehearsed,” added drummer Ronnie Vannucci. “Burning the candle at both ends could hinder performance.” By no means, however, are the Mormon raised Brandon Flowers and the rest of the quartet choirboys. “I think we smartened up and were a little bit more selective of when we were going to go paint the town red,” Brandon Flowers says with a smile. Now on their fourth album, The Killer’s impressive live show is coming to a screen near you. Despite the boldness of his stage attire, The Killers lead singer doesn’t see himself as a style icon. “I’m just trying not to look stupid and apparently some people don’t think I’m doing a very good job,” Brandon Flowers says, then breaks into a gentle laugh. The Killers have been touring for their latest album, “Day & Age,” for more than a year, and expect to be on the road for a good part of 2010. Spreading their flamboyant brand of pop around the world is a highlight for the band, but they’re also cognizant of its drawbacks.
