Love him or hate him, give credit where credit is due when the rest of The Killers decided to take time off, hardworking frontman Brandon Flowers released his first solo effort and kept touring. Resulting in a bizarre, mostly jumbled mix of Mormon imagery and a Sams Town-redux of Las Vegas lessons, Flowers experimental Flamingo only occasionally (Only the Young, Hard Enough, Crossfire) reaches the heights his band have scaled. Still, a ticket to see The Killers is really a ticket to see the eccentric Flowers perform every song like its his last. In a smaller venue, this is your chance to get more up close and personal with the always-thrilling egomaniac. With Fran Healy. BRYDEN MCGRATH
