The Killers are truly an international sensation something that evident here locally when the Nevada based band headlined Lollapalooza. Every person I met at the fest that was from another country for Lolla, almost everyone of them mentioned they were there for Brandon Flowers and company. That global appeal continued in this viral hit from Austraila, where the band is set to provide the pre-show for the Australia Football League Grand Final this Saturday. It’s the Ausssie’s equivalent to the Super Bowl that is the championship game for Aussie rules football.
Australia’s love for the Killers produced this viral hit with sports host Gerard Whateley during a radio appearance, read the lyrics to ‘Mr. Brightside’ as if it was a sport with player charging to score a goal. It’s really striking to see the song about emotional distress over a relationship

Here is Brandon and Ronnie promoted the pre-game party on Australia’s talk show. It was hard not to laugh when the host say Killers in that sweet accent.
