Brandon Flowers in Liverpool

[Voodoo Billy]

Great gig at the O2 Academy last night by The Killers' frontman. The set lasted for a little over an hour, most of the excellent Flamingo was covered as well as a couple of Killers songs and The Beatles' 'Helter Skelter'. The fella' certainly has charisma and it was great to see him in a relatively small venue, The Killers themselves being stadium fillers these days. I thought maybe he'd have given us something by the Bunnymen (having gone into Bring on the Dancing Horses at the MTV awards at the city in '08), but we got 'Helter Skelter' by the city's second best anyway.

Problem is that most of The Reynolds Girls' material doesn't fit in with Brandon's sound so that's probably why he went for the city's second best instead.
