More on Brandon Flowers
Description from Wikipedia:
Brandon Richard Flowers (born June 21, 1981) is the American frontman, keyboardist and primary lyricist of the Las Vegas-based rock band The Killers. ==Early life==
Flowers, the youngest of six children, was born on June 21, 1981 in Henderson, Nevada (outside Las Vegas) to parents of partial Scottish and Lithuanian ancestry. Growing up, his mother was a homemaker and his father worked for a grocery store. His father joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when Flowers was five years old. They lived in Henderson until Flowers was eight, when they moved to Nephi, Utah. Flowers lived in Nephi until his junior year in Juab High School, when he moved back to Las Vegas to live with his aunt.
Brandon's brother, Shane, 12 years his senior (born July 4 1969 and sung about in The Killers's song Sam's Town) is said to be most responsible for Flowers' musical development; he showed him Smiths videos and U2's Rattle and Hum movie and even early videos of The Shazzman on Motown. His older brother also introduced him to The Cars, The Beatles, Morrissey, and The Cure. Musically, Flowers is an anglophile and a fan of British bands New Order, The Smiths, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, and Oasis. He credits the Pet Shop Boys song "Being Boring", especially the lyrics "I never dreamt that I would get to be / The creature that I always meant to be", as a major life influence. He has stated that "It was really weird because other kids were buying Tool and Nirvana and I was buying The Cars and The Psychedelic Furs. I was pretty alienated as a kid."
