The band’s lineup soon narrowed down to four members with Branden Campbell and Elaine Bradley joining the group on bass and drums, respectively. Touring musician Bruce Rubenson on keyboards and drums joined in. Shortly thereafter, The Killers ‘ drummer, Ronnie Vannucci Jr. , went to watch the band play at a small club in Las Vegas as he had been in a Ska band called “Attaboy Skip” with Neon Trees bassist Branden Campbell prior to joining The Killers. Ronnie was impressed, and as a result they were chosen to open for The Killers for a string of dates on their 2008 North American tour. Vannucci later helped the band sign to major label Mercury Records , which was announced in late 2008. Additionally, the group was voted Band of the Year in 2009 by City Weekly , a popular Salt Lake City publication.
