Many people love The Bravery, and why not? Their blend of rock, pop, electronic and retro style new wave keeps you on your feet. But don't count Brandon Flowers of The Killers as a fan. When The Bravery released their debut album a few years ago, Brandon claimed that the New York City based band was capitalizing on The Killers sound. Hmm ... I think there are some 80's bands that may say the same about you, Brandon. (We're not complaining, we like them both.) more ›

It’s like Divas Las Vegas 2007 this week, but in a good way! Celine Dion, Alicia Keys, and the Queen of Soul all have new albums debuting on the charts. It took us a little longer than usual to warm up to Alicia Keys’ new single, “No One” from her latest album, As I Am. But now that we’ve heard it endlessly on the radio and on TV, and it’s formed its own repeat loop... more ›

A few months ago, we ran a contest to win-them-before-you-can-buy them on tickets to see The Killers. Two lucky winners won a pair of tickets to the show (and they're probably scrambling around their house right now trying to remember where the put those tickets). If you weren't one of those two, we have another chance for you. The Killers are coming to the Reliant Arena this Saturday night, supporting their sophomore album Sam’s Town.... more ›

So, to get to the point: It was announced today that The Killers will be coming to Houston (Reliant Arena) on September 15th. The tickets go on sale this Saturday. However, Houstonist was able to get our hands on a couple of pair of tickets. Being the nice guys and gals we are, we’re going to... more ›

Junious was arrested Aug. 4; he appeared in court yesterday, and police say he's confessed to a total of seven sexual assaults.

Despite early reports of a possible connection between a man arrested in connection with raping a woman and a possible serial killer stalking women in the Acres Homes area, police are stressing that no positive link has been made between Bilford Junious and the killer. And, they say, there's still a good chance the murders weren't all committed by the same person. All of which means the cops may not be any closer to solving... more ›
