To
celebrate the launch of our brand new entertainment channel
on Excite.co.uk The Killers (this years hottest act) have
donated an exclusive version of their amazing track
Jenny was a friend of mine.
The
wait has been nothing short of agonizing but finally on June
7 The Killers release hugely anticipated debut album ‘Hot
Fuss’ through Lizard King Records. The 11 tracks that
make the final cut include the dirty disco breakthrough single ‘Somebody
Told me’ and the ridiculously infectious ‘Mr
Brightside’, which is surely set to become one of the
anthems of the summer (itself released as a single on May
24).
The rest of the album is packed with
soon-to-be-classics that are each fighting for the right
to be the band’s
next single. From the synth-heavy, live favourite ‘Jenny
Was A Friend Of Mine’ to the songwriting genius of ‘Smile
Like You Mean It’, to the anthemic ‘All These
Things That I’ve Done’, a sure-fire festival
favourite that realises singer Brandon’s dream of working
with a gospel choir.
After playing a sell-out show with
Jet at the NME Brat Awards, as well as their own sell-out
Valentines extravaganza at
London’s ICA, The Killers are currently on an extensive
tour of the US. They managed to find time to support their
idol Morrissey in recent shows across the pond, as well as
playing a blistering set at California’s Coachella
Festival. On May 23 the boys begin their first full headline
tour of the UK before playing must-see
sets at this summer festivals;
