TICKET ALERT: THE KILLERS UNSTAGED

In a rather unexpected collaboration, the Killers are teaming up with legendary German director Werner Herzog in the latest edition of American Express Unstaged, in which a live performance is streamed in real time via YouTube and VEVO. The Las Vegas band, led by Brandon Flowers, will be playing at the Paradise Theater in the Bronx on September 18, the day their new record, Battle Born, is being released. Their fourth studio album, which follows 2004’s Hot Fuss, 2006’s Sam’s Town, and 2008’s Day & Age, features such tracks as “Flesh and Bone,” “The Way It Was,” “Miss Atomic Bomb,” and the first single, “Runaways.” The Killers handpicked Herzog to direct the show and were shocked when the filmmaker, who has made such landmark works as Aguirre, the Wrath of God, Fitzcarraldo, Grizzly Man, and Rescue Dawn, agreed to helm the project. Tickets ($58.50) go on sale August 31 at 12 noon for the September 18 show, which will stream live (and free) from the Bronx beginning at 7:00.
