Brandon Flowers is a Mormon
I guess it’s official now, Brandon Flowers is a Mormon. If you haven’t seen it yet, HERE is Brandon Flowers’ profile on Mormon.org. That’s right, it’s mormon.org/brandon.
I can’t believe the LDS church could get an interview that we couldn’t!!! Okay, I guess I can kinda see it. There’s an awesome video interview on the website, but here’s a YouTube link to give you an idea. I love it.
Neon Trees featured on RollingStone.com
Interesting article about Neon Trees, their relationship with The Killers, and their Mormon beliefs. Very interesting. They’ve tried to make their way without flaunting their relationship with The Killers, stating that they believe they’re good enough to make it on their own.
The Killers to receive ASCAP Vanguard Award
ASCAP is planning on honoring The Killers at the 27th annual ASCAP Pop Music Awards. The Killers will be receiving an ASCAP Vanguard Award, which is given to artists who help “shape the future of American music.” It’s not an induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or anything, but hey, it’s a chance for wealthy and famous people to congratulate each other, and that’s what’s important in the end.
Brandon Flowers, singer and songwriter of The Killers, is LDS.
Alan Sparhawk interviewed on Independent.ie
Alan Sparhawk, one-third of indie band Low, and part of the inspiration for Linescratchers, was recently interviewed by Independent.ie, which apparently is some kind of Irish music website or something (Low is playing a show in Ireland soon). I don’t know. The point is, Alan’s awesome and it’s always good to see him get a little cred. He also mentions Brandon Flowers in the interview. You can find it here.
