The Killers to begin work on 'piles of songs' next week

Ronnie Vannucci says the band will start writing sessions on May 17



The Killers will start working on new songs next week, according to drummer Ronnie Vannucci.

The sticksman-turned-solo-artist told XFM that the band already had a "pile of songs" that they wanted to show off to each other, and they had already nailed a date to do it.

"Tuesday [May 17] I think we start doing some writing again," he said. "We have piles of songs we want to show each other. We're going to get back in that room and start working."

Meanwhile, Vannucci will release his debut solo album 'Big Talk' on July 11. Speaking about the LP he said: "I needed to do this, it's such a departure from what I'm used to, but now, having done it, it feels like the right thing to do. It all feels very natural. I can't sit on a couch very long!"

The Killers will headline this year’s Hard Rock Calling Festival on June 24 in London.

The Killers Talk Next Album

More than a year after the Killers went on hiatus, the Las Vegas rockers are reuniting this week at their hometown HQ -- Battle Born Studios, which they own -- to start work on their yet-to-be-titled next album, the follow-up to 2008's Day & Age.

"We're getting in a room to grease the machine. We've traded ideas for songs online and worked songs out during soundchecks [the band have been playing select dates this spring]," says drummer Ronnie Vannucci. "We have some songs written, plus some that haven't been released that are on the cutting room floor. The objective is to get in the room and see what we come up with."

While the Killers don't have an official release date for the LP, Vannucci jokes that "it'd be nice to have the album out before 2012 -- you know, before the world ends." A band spokesperson had no comment on Island Records' release schedule.

During the band's downtime, singer Brandon Flowers and Vannucci both recorded solo albums. But those side-projects won't alter the team dynamic of the Killers, says Vannucci: "When you're in a band that's a democracy, like this is... it's all about compromising and making something together."

Vannucci adds that the Killers are revitalized and ready to work together toward a single goal. "We want to make the best record ever with this one. Everybody's in that mind set of really focusing and putting the hammer down to make it happen."

The Killers' band members are set to perform one song each from their solo projects when they headline this year's Hard Rock Calling festival in London.

According to the Daily Star the four band members will each play one track from their solo projects among their band material. A source told the paper: "The boys will probably have a song each. Ronnie’s [Vannucci – drummer] got his new album coming out soon and he’s got a really great voice. But whatever Dave [Keuning – guitarist] does I’m sure it will be something a little weirder though."

Singer Brandon Flowers and drummer Vannucci have both gone public with their solo material, but bassist Mark Stoermer and guitarist Dave Keuning have yet to release anything under their own names.

Flowers released his debut solo album 'Flamingo' in 2010 and Vannucci is set to put out his album 'Big Talk' on July 18. Stoermer has spent the last few months producing the new Howling Bells album and has indicated that he has been working on solo material, but Keuning for not given any details of what he has produced during the band's hiatus.

The Killers will headline Hard Rock Calling on June 24, with the Kaiser Chiefs set to play before them. Bon Jovi and Rod Stewart are the festival's other headliners.

The Killers tocará el material solista de sus integrantes



Cada miembro de The Killers tocará una canción en solitario durante su actuación en el Hard Rock Calling este año.

La banda de 'When You Were Young ' encabezará el cartel del festival británico el próximo mes y será su primer show en Europa desde que se tomó un descanso en enero de 2010 y según se informó aprovechará la oportunidad para mostrar el material que han estado trabajando cada uno de sus integrantes.

En el tiempo en que la banda estuvo de para, su cantante Brandon Flowers lanzó un disco como solista, mientras que el baterista Ronnie Vannucci ha estado trabajando en su proyecto paralelo Big Talk, por su parte el guitarrista Dave Keuning y el bajista Mark Stoermer también han estado trabajando en proyectos separados.

Una fuente le dijo al periódico Daily Star: "Los chicos probablemente cantarán una canción cada uno. Ronnie tiene listo su nuevo disco que saldrá pronto y tiene una voz realmente genial…

"Pero cualquier cosa que Dave haga no estoy seguro de que será, pero seguro será un poco raro."
