The Killers are a 21st Century synth rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, who formed in 2002. Lead singer and keyboardist Brandon Flowers was inspired to start the band in part after seeing Oasis perform at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel in April 2002. They released their hit record Hot Fuss in 2004.

The band took their name from a New Order video titled "Crystal". It was featured on the bass drum of a fictional band in the video. Brandon Flowers went on to take to the stage at the 2005 T in the Park festival and perform "Crystal" with New Order.
