Rock Mag October 2008-Thanks to maud for the scan and translation!

The sound of The Killers was off more than once our baskets of the dancefloor.
The 3rd album of the group, Day and Age, will arrive in November and is in a hotel lounge in the English capital that we met express Brandon, the singer.

Sea, Sex and Sun!

For our Mormon, no sex but sand. He told us that the correct expression was "Sun Sea and Sand" when he complained to Nice, there was no sand but stones: "Only Rock rocks!

Atmosphere:

This is first large-molars seats or receives me in the hotel where the interview will take place from Brandon Flowers. The decor is ultra design and a music lounge imposes its own pace. It is expected that I spend the night here since my interview will take place at 19h.
Spend the night in the same hotel a giant group would shudder more than one. The 5 titles of Age Day and turn loop in room 601, it is 16.00.

The international press go here to avoid leaks before the release of the album. Just push the door, I see. Great, beautiful, a coffee cup in hand, he smiles with a sign of the head (I expect to hear "what else?"). He is wearing a khaki safari way, jeans and species of Caterpillar (we are far from glam stage). He is calm and discuss with his manager. Brandon will hold on the sofa, laying his hands on his legs. He looks at me, smiled again, the air to say: let's go

The Killers, which spell the name?

Brandon: In 2002, New Order has launched the clip of the song Crystal. There was in this video a group that played and they called The Killers. We just took their name.

What groups like you?

-David Bowie and Depeche Mode! They influenced me a lot in writing the words of our songs.

How did this latest album?

-Most songs were born on the road during the last tour of Sam's Town. Human was born in London, Spaceman in Panama ... Each tour, gives rise to different songs.

When you write, you take your life or you create stories?

-I do both. I always mixed the 2 ways. I talk about things that m'arrivent, but I also plans universe in shadow.

We know that you are very croyant.Dans the middle rock, it makes you someone different?

-Yes, I think that makes me different. There is just something I do not understand is the fact that these are stupid people who believe in God. For me it is the greatest artist there, and there has to see a sunset.

Being rock'n'roll; ransack her dressing room, with no limits, as are some groups ...
You are capable of it too?

-(Brandon starts to laugh) Despite our sound angry, we are a fairly calm and so yes, on this point, we're different from other groups.

You just Specials in France or a concert?
-(Looks at his manager) is spent by France? When? In October or November! It will soon be there.
(He is silent for a moment and his voice leaves escape a souvenir) We left a few days in Nice (This is a city in southern France) "And it was nice". It was wonderful, I'm so amused.

What do you take you home to France?

-A tan! There were only Russians. Nice is for Russians! I have not seen a single French. But I understand these people have little vacation and they more closely in Europe where there is sun.

Brown box:

French small gift.

During the interview, Brandon took the opportunity to accept a small gift. Indeed, we offrîmes a small packet of sand from the Mother Poulard by explaining the origin (Le Mont Saint Michel). We thanked and calm before the package with the curiosity of a child.
