GIGS Brandon Flowers, usually the front man of Killers, remains stubbornly proud of his hometown, Las Vegas. he makes that clear when discussing his first solo album, Flamingo, which takes its name from a Sin City downtown street on which Sam’s Town is located. That’s where Flowers used to buy his records. “I grew up there, so it’s close to my heart,” … “I feel a responsibility to represent where I’m from, to defend it. It’s a place that a lot of people loathe. I can’t help but love it. I grew up with a lot of people who couldn’t wait to leave, and that was always strange to me. I feel a real connection to it. It’s in my blood.” He plays The Academy, Dublin on 22 September. Tickets. “Flamingo” is on the shelves now.

There’s an important charity fundraising event happening in Dublin next weekend. It’s in aid of Brainwave, the Irish Epilepsy Association and it’s called the Horse Show Hustle, which, funny enough, has pretty much nothing to do with horses. Continuing on the tradition of a ball after the Dublin Horse Show (where tickets were €150), this year Brainwave are keeping the title but bringing the fundraiser ticket price to a recession friendly €30 and holding it in Krystle, who have donated the venue for the evening.
