THE KILLERS
writer: Roy Opochinski

The Killers have a hot album (Hot Fuss) and are on the road in support of it. Groovevolt.com caught up with guitarist David Keuning recently and talked about songwriting, touring, and living in Las Vegas.

Groovevolt: What is your reaction now that the album has been released?
David Keuning: ItŐs exciting. ItŐs our first album and things are going pretty wellÉ ItŐs a dream come true.

GV: While the bandŐs Las Vegas upbringing has been brought up a number of times, you are not from Vegas. What has life there been like for you?
DK: Growing up in Vegas, youŐre immune. The other three [members of the band are] from Vegas. The three of them will all tell you itŐs normal, like any other townÉ Being from Iowa, I can tell you that Vegas is not normal. ItŐs cold on Mercury, but f you grew up on Mercury, that would be normal. I moved four years ago. It was culture shock. It definitely is different but I donŐt think it prepared us for touring.
