Killers used to be ace but what are they now? A crap band that sad couples go to see coz they are a bit 'edgy' - WHATEVER!

Best news I've heard all day. I'll be at at least one of the gigs, even if I have to sell my soul.

Trashy Chick I wasn't quite aware that they've become a "crap band". They've continued to steadily churn out good (if not better) music. In a world of indie pop I'd say the Killers are quite the refreshers.
