The Killers Due for Hiatus
“She said, I don’t mind if you don’t mind, cause I don’t shine, if you don’t shine.”
There’s a slight guarantee that this post will not make your day. Many bands this year are full of promise and fresh material, but the Killers are not one of those bands. After their current tour ends in February, the band is following up with an indefinite hiatus. The concept of a hiatus for such a strong band is a tad puzzling. From the super indie Hot Fuss, to the more alternative Sam’s Town, to the pop in Day and Age, to the b-sides in Sawdust, to extraordinary Bright Eyes cover in the Spaceman EP, The Killers have succeeded across the board. Maybe it IS time for the band to break from their daily routine. Guitarist Dave Keuning, however, revealed that this break was not permanent “as far as [he] know[s].” We can only hope that there’s a bright side to this all. A Brandon Flowers side project maybe?
