Looking for an outlet for his own songs,
the Killers' drummer
Ronnie Vannucci Jr. formed
Big Talk after his main gig went on hiatus in 2010. Featuring former
Expert on October bandmate Taylor Milne on guitar, the band further explores the post-punk that influenced
Vannucci with a thumping, dramatic sound that conveys emotion while driving listeners to the dancefloor. Working with
Strokes and
Minus the Bear producer Joe Chicarelli, the duo recorded and released the self-titled
Big Talk in the summer of 2011. ~ Gregory Heaney
