The Killers San Jose Presale Starts At 10 AM This Morning

Sorry for the late notice kids, we were um...sleeping. Anyhoo. Frankly, we're not loving The Killers all that much these days , and we've been hearing less than favorable things about their live show as of late. That being said, we try not to be haters, and in principle we still love the band's first record. Okay, their pre-label EP. Still.

We figured some of you might want this info: The San Jose Live 105 presale starts at 10 AM, the password is "spaceman". Good luck!

Not So Silent Night 2008 Features Killers, Death Cab, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand: Presale Thursday At 10AM

Live 105's perennial Not So Silent Night has made an upgrade this year: The show has left its traditional digs at the Bill Graham Civic Center and moved to the monumental Oracle Arena. Essentially, this means that the city's biggest and most over populated show has become even bigger and more overpopulated, and also has left the city. Indeed.

This year's show will feature The Killers, Death Cab For Cutie, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, and Jack's Mannequin (We'll be honest: we've never heard of Jack's Mannequin. Is that bad?). A pretty epic lineup: we like to call it the "Hot Indie Bands Of '04 Who Have Gone To Major Labels" lineup. Okay, seriously though, enough snark: If you do in fact want to go, there's a presale this morning (Thursday) at 10. The password is "oakland". Indeed.

Killers Show Tonight At The Warfield Cancelled

While we haven't been so hot on them as of late, we figured there might be a few readers who had plans to check The Killers at The Warfield tonight. Well, from the looks of things, you're going to have to wait a bit longer: the band has cancelled the show due to illness. According to the band's website, the show has been postponed until December 12th, when all original tickets will be honored. Sorry kids.

The KIllers Truly Sell Out

If Sam's Town wasn't enough evidence to show you that The Killers had lost their edge, then surely this will do the job. The band's latest single, off the forthcoming Day & Age, is about as close to M.O.R. pop as one can get without becoming Kenny G. Seriously guys? Is this what it's come to? Can't we get someone in the studio to tell them that this just isn't the way to go?

What really irks us is that if you go back and listen to the pre-major label EP stuff, it's still really good. It's raw, and edgy, and powerful. And now, this. Argh...
