The Killers
Posted: Tue Jun 22, 2004 10:02 pmHas anyone else picked up the cd "Hot Fuss" by the Killers? I recently did; and it is quite good. I believe they are from Las Vegas; but there is quite a buzz about them in the UK.

Posted: Wed Jun 23, 2004 10:56 amI love these guys. The single for "Somebody Told Me" has a few tracks not on the Hot Fuss CD. "The Ballad Of Michael Valentine" is...well...killer!
Always seems like the U.K. are more up on these sorts of things.

Posted: Sat Jun 26, 2004 7:18 amI've heard they are Americans that are trying to convince people they are British by speaking in fake accents. Any truth to this?
Posted: Sat Jun 26, 2004 11:03 amThey're American but the Brit accent is a gimmick they own up to.
Posted: Sat Jun 26, 2004 11:41 amVery ironic as I was at that gig with a Northerner and the first thing he asked me was, "They Yanks?'
To which I replied,"Sounds like it."

Posted: Fri Jul 09, 2004 7:41 amAre you serious? That's the drummer in a ska band? Ha ha! So, does that mean the Killers are donning the 80's schtick to be current?
IIIIIIII dunno. I'm not feelin' this one, at ALL. It sounds vaguely like stuff I also didn't like during the 80's.

Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2004 6:47 amI'll have to give them a listen as well.
Al Jourgenson of Ministry used the faux British accent bit early in his music career too. [}:)]
OI!
