Brandon Flowers
Brandon Richard Flowers was born on June 21, 1981 in Henderson, Nevada.
While listening to the radio in his car after his very first college class, Brandon Flowers heard the song "Changes" by David Bowie. He fell in love with the piece and realized he wanted to be part of the music industry.
The person most responsible for Brandon's musical development is his brother Shane, who showed him Smiths videos and U2's Rattle and Hum movie. His older brother also introduced him to the Cars, the Beatles, Morrissey, and the Cure. Musically, he identifies as an anglophile and also as a fan of the bands New Order, the Smiths, and Pet Shop Boys.
Brandon Flowers joined a band known as Blush Response, but they booted Brandon in 2001 when he refused to move with the rest of them to Los Angeles, California.
