The Killers To Record New Album On The Road

The Killers will record their next album while on tour, in a mobile recording studio they'll be taking on the road with them.

The band's next LP is a collection of cover versions, expected to be released around Christmas time, or in early 2010.

On their recording plans, drummer Ronnie Vanucci says: "I brought my mobile recording rig, so we just set up backstage with some extra gear - a drum set, a couple of practice amps and we mic everything up. It sounds excellent."

As for what songs we can expect to hear being covered, frontman Brandon Flowers added to NME magazine: "It's still in the dream stages. It's something that we've always talked about doing and we're still talking about it."

"It's difficult for us each to pick songs that represent us as individuals. I mean, I have a lot of personalities myself! I've gone through everything from Neil Diamond to The Cars."
