The music artist i have chosen to research is The Killers. They are an american alternative/indie rock band formed in 2001 in Las Vegas. The band members consist of; Brandon Flowers- vocals and keyboards, Dave Keuning- guitar and backing vocals, Mark Stoermer- bass guitar and backing vocals and Ronnie Vannucci Jr.- drums and percussion. The name "The Killers" supposedly comes from the bass drum of a fictional band in the music video for the New Order song "Crystal". The Killers signed British indie label Lizard King Records in 2003.
On August 19th 2003, Mr Brightside premiered on DJ Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show in the UK. The Killers then travelled to London and began to play shows in bars and clubs, the crowds grew every night through word of mouth and reviews were very positive. Soon after returning to the US they were signed by Island Def Jam. The Killers have won four NME Awards; Best International Band in 2005, 2008 and 2009 and Best Video for "Bones" in 2006.
