2nd July 2005 - Hyde Park - The Killers
I'm a huge music fan, and in 2005 while I was living in London I was lucky enough to get tickets to go to Live 8, a music extravaganza with a line up that featured the biggest names on the planet including (to name but a few) U2, Coldplay, The Who, Madonna, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney and one of my favourite bands, The Killers.
Little did I realise that I would meet someone 5 years later through this site who was intrinsically involved with this band, and this event.
I spotted Branden at Heathrow Airport when I noticed his cool New Balance kicks. We got talking and he told me that he works in the music industry and was heading to San Francisco after working in the UK with a couple of bands. I was excited to ask if he had worked with any bands that I might know of and he revealed that he had managed a band that I knew quite well...The Killers, and ironically after working with the band during their first album 'Hot Fuss' his last act was Live 8!, during which the band's performance of 'All These Things That I've Done' was a real highlight.
Heathrow was a terrible place to shoot - crowded, manic and terribly lit, but it was great to meet Branden and I look forward to hearing his new project - the new album from The Wombats soon.
