Just in case you haven’t gotten enough of The Killers yet, though given Day & eh Age, the multiple festival appearances and never-ending tour (see below), fun with Coldplay and Bono, and threats to disband, I’m not entirely sure how that’s possible, Brandon Flowers and Co. have you covered. In an interview with Billboard.com, drummer Ronnie Vannucci revealed that plans are in the works for two new releases – a cover album and live DVD.
Of course, considering the recently revealed cover of “Four Winds” and the fact The Killers will basically have played everywhere but the sun by the time the quartet caps off their world tour later this summer and if you haven’t seen them by then, you have no one else to blame but yourself, both releases seem utterly pointless. But because we know there is at least one person semi-interested – after all, how else are they selling out arenas and headlining festivals? – we will note that while nothing is set in stone, according to Vannucci, both a live DVD and cover album have been discussed.
If you’re interested, read more at Billboard. If you feel like we just wasted the last five minutes of your life, we apologize.

TAGGED AS: The Killers
Hey! The Boat Killers! You’re a piece of shit and learn how to spell it’s “faggot” with 2 Gs you fucking retard.
A fagot brit band playing the music of another fagot brit band. Just don’t pretend to be Americans, fagots.
Went to see them in Victoria last night just for kicks. The show was actually a lot better than I expected. I haven’t heard Day & Age, but I’m certainly not running to pick it up after hearing the songs live. As many people have stated before, the hits are great (any they really do have a lot of them), but the new songs just killed the momentum of the performance. An encore of “Jenny Was a Friend of Mine”, “Bones” and “When You Were Young” was definitely the highlight of the night. I also thought the light show was good. Not too over the top as you might expect with the Killers, but still interesting to look at. Gotta give Flowers some props too. The man knows how to command a crowd and he can really belt out a tune. Touche Killers. You exceeded my low expectations.
Killers will basically have played everywhere but the sun by the time the quartet caps off their world tour later this summer and if you haven’t seen them by then, you have no one else to blame but yourself
actually yeah you can blame The Killers, they sold out three dates in Florida on their last tour, yet no dates down there….
but a big shocker, rarely do bands now come down there…
