Best known as the lead singer of the Las Vegas alternative rock band, the Killers, Brandon Flowers has put his own name up in lights as well as a successful solo artist. His second solo album, The Desired Effect, came out earlier this summer to critical acclaim and features appearances by Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys, Danielle Haim of Haim and Ronnie Vannucci, Jr. of the Killers, among others. His live performances have also been widely praised by fans and reviewers and during the European leg of his current tour, he even had a few legendary, surprise guests performing with him: Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders and Bernard Sumner of New Order. His live set will feature
several songs from his new album like the pop-filled “Can’t Deny My Love” and the slow build-up, “I Can Change,” as well as some sing-alongs that all fans of The Killers will know and love. (Elizabeth Manno)
