If you like the Killers, check out Louis the 14th... my friend just got back from touring with both of them, I'm pretty bored with the rock-revivally stuff, but it's decent.
*Madvillian/MF Doom - Vic never dissapoints, but the newest stuff kills.
*Coconut Monkeyrocket - Godawful name, but they are like a funkier version of Avalanches - check their split with Martinibomb.
*OneBeLo aka OneManArmy - He wowed me in the Binary Star days, and his solo-stuff might even be better.
*Haiku D'etat - Acey has long been a favorite, this is no exception to his great work.
*The Kleptones - I cant praise these guys enough, this year alone they've gotten into more legal battles than anybody since maybe Atari Teenage Riot. Their album "A night at the hip-hopera" Mashed up a large chunk of Queen's Discography and hip-hop, which came out AMAZINGLY, and then later on "Yoshimi Battles the Hip-Hop Robots" which was a Flaming Lips/Hip-hop mashup killed too.
