Good Mormon Boys Like To Get Drunk!

Brandon Flowers may look like a pansy (or a daisy), but he's a hardcore rocker on the inside! The Smoking Gun just posted the backstage rider for The Killers, and it is quite enlightening. Per their tour requirements, the Las Vegas rockers order their dressing room booze on a strict daily schedule, according to their 2006 tour rider. For example, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are reserved for Maker's Mark whiskey and Absolut vodka. And Sunday is exclusively the province of tequila and Jameson Irish Whiskey. That is in addition to the standard 96 beers, 24 cans of cider, and two bottles of red wine the band has waiting for them backstage prior to every concert. As the Smoking Gun points out, the Killers's demands have increased in proportion with their record sales. Two years ago, the band's rider (dated July 2004) sought "Cheddar cheese enough for 6 people." Now they need "Brie or Camembert." Nothing but the best for Brandon and the boys!!!

You MUST Listen To This: A Tornado Of Talent!

We fucking LOVE The Gossip, and not just because they have a catchy name. This band kicks ass. Hardcore. Stripped down. Pumped up!!!

Listen To This: Swimming With The Fishes

If The Killers and Badly Drawn Boy were to have a love child, it’d be Said The Whale. Remember when “alternative” music used to be a real trendy word? Well, that really is the best way to describe this band. Hailing from lovely Vancouver, Canada, Said The Whale makes delightfully quirky music. It’s infectious! Check out the wonderful [...]

Listen To This: They Give Us Fever

You hipsters may be familiar with Shiny Toy Guns, but everyone else might not be familiar with this brazilliant band. Imagine Kylie Minogue fronting The Killers and that might be close to describing Shiny Toy Guns. Electro yet rock, they're sound is retro yet totally current. And, their song Le Disko is one of the most infectious things to come across our ears since the news that Britney was divorcing K-Fag. You will love it too! Take a listen.

Listen To This: Carelessly Devoted To You

The Gossip were on the UK's Radio One Live Lounge yesterday and they performed a killer cover of Wham's Careless Whisper - in keeping with their garage band sound. Beth Ditto's voice just cuts down straight to our core, through our heart. Though her genre is rock, she's one of the best "soul" singers around. You can just feel it when she sings. When she sings, she LIVES it! Enjoy Beth & Co.'s take on Careless Whisper - with a bit of Kelly Clarkson's Since U Been Gone thrown in for good measure.
