Last night I headed down to the Brixton Academy to catch The Killers. Never been to the Brixton Academy before - cool venue. Support were The Rapture who were pretty good . The Killers finally took the stage and the fans went crazy - especially those who had paid 100 quid a ticket on ebay ! As for the gig, well they played new stuff, they played old stuff. And well, that was pretty much all they did. Brandon jumped around the stage, but crowd interaction was pretty minimal. No Billy Bragg concert! All in all the show was pretty good but just seemed to lack something - to be honest I think I was far more into The Killers a couple of years ago. Maybe it was just bad timing ...
Anyway - obligatory photos below ....
ya, i saw them live last year and was pretty unimpressed. they're a great lounge act, but have ZERO presence infront of a large crowd.
ReplyDeletetook a taxi up Ossington tonight. the ol' place looks pretty much the same. hair salon is still next door... thought of you! :)
Phew - now I don't feel so bad. The Killers are playing the BDO here in Adelaide (their only gig in ADL on this tour) and I can't go - sunburn+dehydration the day before our wedding is probably a bad idea. I was devastated but now I'm over it! Thanks Dr Dave (and lady too!)...
