Enjoy!
The Killers are an American rock band that was formed in 2001 in Las Vegas, Nevada and consists of members Brandon Flowers (lead vocals, keyboards, bass), Dave Keuning (lead guitar, backing vocals), Mark Stoermer (bass, rhythm guitar, backing vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion).
Their song "Somebody Told Me" that reached the No.3 spot on the UK chart is a look inside the mind of a young man laden with testosterone and libido. Vocalist, Brandon Flowers, said that they were going out to clubs a lot at the time, and the song speaks to a young man's frustration, the difficulty of picking up girls.
Flowers said that he was 20, 21 years old, and was just trying to write about what he was doing and seeing in these indie nightclubs in Las Vegas. He was listening to David Bowie and Pulp, trying to channel all of that stuff.
The Killers have released 5 consecutive studio albums that topped the charts, and they are: Hot Fuss from 2004, Sam's Town from 2006, Day & Age from 2008, Battle Born from 2012 and Wonderful Wonderful from 2017.
The band is considered to be one of the biggest rock bands of the 21st century, and the most successful act that emerged from Nevada. The Killers have achieved great success all over the world, especially as a live band, and have performed in more than 50 countries on six continents.
