The Flowers/Butler Connection Get Pretty

...in Pink. Honestly, The Killer's frontman Brandon Flowers falters a bit in the chorus on this rendition, but redeems himself throughout the rest of the number. But it was nice to see him and his band grace the stage with the legendary new wave band, Psychedelic Furs. This went down a few days ago, the 16th to be exact, at the Hollywood Bowl. The Happy Mondays played, too, just a little bit earlier. I like to think it was a unique coming together of two worlds. The Furs still rock and The Killers add a little modern flare to the performance. Here's the video which features Jimmy Kimmel doing his best Kanye impersonation which is apparently all the rage now. And for fun, we'll toss in the music video made for the movie back in '86.
