So I guess I didn't know anything about Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of the Killers. Apparently he is from Utah or at least spent some of his youth here before moving to Vegas. He is also Mormon. Why do I care? I haven't been a huge Killers fan but I like some of their stuff, so I guess I didn't pay much attention until now.
A couple of years ago I found some old friends from my mission that I severed for the Church Of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints(The Mormon Church). I found them on facebook and then proceeded to check out their profiles and found out that some of their children had grown up to be quite the musicians. So last year I offered to record some music for them in my home studio when they came out to Utah, and I spent a few days with them recording some of their demos. A very talented family. At the time their group was called "Bynow" and consisted of three siblings Rachel, Adam and Sarah Kaiser, but they have since changed their name to "The Neighbors". Sarah got married and moved away and Adam and Rachel are still out Rocking with their piano based rock as "The Neighbors".
So what does this have to do with Brandon Flowers, well not a whole lot, I don't know him but I know Rachel, and apparently Rachel has been on tour with him singing back ups and playing a little bit of keyboard for his solo album. Go Rachel! I think this is very cool and am glad to see Adam and Rachel out their following there dreams. And, imagine my surprise when I saw Rachel on Jay Leno last night singing with Brandon Flowers. She is the beautiful blond back up singer in this video, and will also be performing on Jimmy Kimmel tomorrow night.
You can check out the Neighbors right here in this next video. It will only be a matter time until you see them performing their own music on Jay Leno. Go Rachel and Adam!!
