So, here we go then. Almost a year since The Killers wound up touring for "Hot Fuss", The Sams Town World Tour 06/07 kicked off in Blackpool last night. The band have been hard at it doing promo and secret club shows for a couple weeks now but last night was kind of the first "real" show at the 4000 capacity Empress Ballroom. The show was basically the UK introduction to the new album, and its sounding pretty damn good. Show was great and will be broadcast on BBC Radio1 on Sun 10th September at 7pm GMT. They played a good mix of songs from both albums. This upcoming tour of America should be great.
Also after the show i got to meet a genuine hero of mine...
Yes, the one and only Tim Burton. Director of such movies as Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Batman, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, Sleepy Hollow and of course the man behind Corpse Bride and Nightmare Before Christmas.
He is currently working on the promo video for The Killers next single "Bones", i cant wait to see that.
A very nice and friendly guy and was a great experience to get to speak to him. Cant wait to see Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D when it is released in October. He seems to think it is going to be amazing and seems extremely enthusiastic about it.
But anyway enough of that. im off home for a couple of days before joining up with the tour again in Germany on Thurs, speak to you then.
