After the release of their debut album Hot Fuss in 2004, the Killers began touring outside of Las Vegas. Their first stop was the UK, where they caught the ears of the veteran fans of the bands they were influenced by, like Oasis. The Killers quickly signed with the UK label Lizard King and their shows started selling out all over London. Hot Fuss has been classified 4x Platinum by the BPI and 3x Platinum by RIAA. The Killers also had chart success with their singles "Mr. Brightside," which shot to the Top 10 in the UK and US, and "All These Things That I've Done." Mainstream success came when they re-released "Somebody Told Me," which steadily climbed the Billboard 100 charts and hit No. 3 in the UK.

ROBIN WILLIAMS' "WEAPONS OF SELF-DESTRUCTION" COMEDY TOUR

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:00:00 -0600

Tickets go on sale Saturday, December 6 at 10AM

AUSTIN, TEXAS – Robin Williams' comedy tour, "Weapons of Self-Destruction," has exploded onto the comedy scene, earning the comedian spectacular reviews, and is coming to The Theatre at the Frank Erwin Center on February 19. The show will be in a special theatrical setting making for an intimate and memorable night. This is the legendary comedian's first tour in six years. For up-to-date tour and ticket information, please visit www.RobinWilliams.com.

Gary Budzak of The Columbus Dispatch calls on Williams to do something for the country he clearly loves so much. "One way to break America's dependence on foreign oil would be to capture the laughter generated from Robin Williams' stand-up comedy shows," the newspaper decreed. "The laughs-per-minute from his show last night in the Palace Theatre probably were enough to power Downtown for a week."

The accolades continued, as Dave Tianen of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel hailed Williams' energy and performance. "He is still a kind of kinetic eruption, a nonstop verbal and physical explosion that keeps bursting before your eyes like an hour and 45 minute Chinese firecracker of comedic brilliance. After all these years, it may still be the most intense comedic anarchy you can buy a ticket for. Just the sheer bouncing-off-the-walls originality of it is stunning."

Tickets for Robin Williams at The Theatre at the Frank Erwin Center Thursday, February 19 at 8 p.m. are $55, $70, and $90 and GO ON SALE Saturday, December 6 at 10 a.m. at all Texas Box Office Outlets (includes select H-E-B stores in Austin, Bastrop, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Kyle, Leander, Pflugerville, Round Rock, San Marcos and Temple; Ft.
