AMERICAN ROCKERS THE Killers played to 20,000 delirious fans at Dublin’s RDS last night – a gig that lead to something of a universal conclusion.
They were loud. They were very loud indeed.
In fact, so noisy were the Las Vegas foursome, possibly best known for their debut album Hot Fuss from 2004, that people claimed they could hear them from across the capital.

And Brandon Flowers made himself known even further afield in Rathfarnham
Churchtown had soul, if not soldiers
They even, possibly, made it over to the (Mr) northside of the city

Sounds like they were On Top form.
