Brandon Flowers performs The Coral cover and unveils new track at Bristol concert
During his solo show at Bristol’s Beacon Hall, Brandon Flowers covered The Coral’s ‘Dreaming Of You’ with a country-style arrangement. He also gave the first live performance of an unreleased song, ‘A Good Man Is Hard To Find’. The concert was part of the UK run supporting his solo album ‘Thrasher’ and included Killers songs and new solo material.
Brandon Flowers brought his Thrasher UK tour to Bristol’s Beacon Hall on October 17. The set mixed solo cuts such as “Crossfire,” “Still Want You,” and “Lonely Town” with Killers tracks including “Read My Mind,” “When You Were Young,” and “In the Car Outside.” He also played “Dreaming Of You” by The Coral, reworked with country-style backing, and debuted the unreleased “A Good Man Is Hard To Find.”
Flowers has said a second, linked solo album is planned, one he has called romantic. The Bristol date came after a London Royal Albert Hall show and before further UK and Ireland stops in Manchester, Nottingham, Glasgow, and Dublin.
This story may resonate with fans of The Killers and indie music, offering nostalgia through The Coral cover and curiosity about new solo work. It could strengthen interest in Flowers’ Thrasher tour and upcoming dates, potentially boosting ticket demand and streaming for older and new songs. The country-leaning direction may also introduce some listeners to his solo catalog beyond Killers material.
