Founded in 2002 in Las Vegas by Brandon Flowers (vocals, keyboards), Dave Keuning (guitar, vocals), Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (percussion, drums), the band started playing at small clubs in Sin City until they were contacted by the British record label “Marrakesh Records’. The Killers released their highly successful debut album “Hot Fuss” in June 2004, reaching the chart success with the singles "Mr. Brightside", "All These Things That I've Done", "Smile Like You Mean It" and "Somebody Told Me". The Killers' second album, "Sam's Town", was launched in October 2006 and sold over 300,000 copies worldwide in the first week of release. The album produced four top ten singles in the United Kingdom and United States. The first single from Sam's Town, "When You Were Young", entered the chart on downloads alone at number five, and the following week on its official release went to number two on the UK Singles Chart.

 

The band’s tour on support of their new album “Day & Age”, kicked off on October 20, 2008 with a performance at the Las Vegas House of Blues, and is scheduled to continue until the end of the year.
