Dave Keuning

Keuning placed an ad in the local Las Vegas Weekly looking to form a band, mentioning Oasis as one of his influences.[4] Brandon Flowers, who shared Keuning’s love of groups such as New Order and the Cure, answered it, only to have Keuning promptly hand him a TASCAM-recorded four-track demo of “Mr. Brightside”.[5]

Keuning announced in August 2017 that he would not be joining the band to tour in supporting their fifth studio album, Wonderful Wonderful, although he would remain a member of the group.[6] Keuning did not contribute to The Killers’ sixth album, Imploding the Mirage, but joined the band again in studio in early 2021 to work on their seventh album, Pressure Machine.[7]

He debuted his solo music with the release of his first single “Restless Legs” under the moniker Keuning. The assemblage of new music, created by Keuning in his San Diego home studio, was taken from hundreds of voice memos that he stockpiled while on tour with the Killers over the previous decade that evolved into songs. Keuning’s debut album, Prismism, was released on January 25, 2019, and is a collection of 14 tracks with almost all instruments played by Keuning himself.
