Utah-based alt rockers Neon Trees first rose to prominence when the Killers hand-picked them as touring buddies a few years back. Nowadays, however, they’re big in their own right. Last year’s debut album, Habits, was a hit, as was the massive single “Animal”. Currently in the US after a UK tour, they’re in Australia next week, so we called up singer Tyler Glenn.[To read the full interview, visit TNT Down Under]
On Thursday 4th of August Neon Trees took to the stage in front of their fan base predominantly consisting of young, somewhat attractive females and conversely seedy, pathetic guys who were trying to pick up these females.
