"The drummer of The Killers really got into us and came to some shows and just kind of saw that we had something. But we were only playing for ten to 15 people at the time in Vegas. In our home area we had started selling out shows but it was hard to go national and they gave us a nice break and let us open some shows."
Neon Trees chose their name after seeing the bright colored lights on display at a fast food restaurant in Los Angeles. There is a special connection to the name as Tyler describes.
"When Brandon, our bass player joined, he asked the same question - where the name came from. And I told him, and he was like, 'well, my dad works at Yesco and I'm from Las Vegas and he built neon lighting back in 80s. Let me ask him as I'm pretty sure we were down there and did those.' And sure enough his dad actually built those lights years and years before I've even met Brandon. So it was a weird spiritual twist."
Neon Trees are on tour to promote the new CD Picture Show and have just released their second single from the new album.霓虹灯树乐队其实是被另一个流行乐队的成员所发现的。“杀手乐队的鼓手跟我们走得很近，还参加了一些演出，可以说他看到了我们有些潜力。但当时在拉斯维加斯我们演出的观众只有10到15人。在老家，我们演出的票已经开始买到脱销，但要走向全国还是挺困难的，而他们给了我们一个好机会，让我们能开始办几场演出。
霓虹灯乐队的名字是在看见洛杉矶一家快餐店展示的明亮彩灯之后选定的。Tyler描述说，乐队和这个名字有种特殊的关系。
“当我们的贝斯手Brandon加入时，他也问了同样的问题——乐队的名字时怎么来的。我告诉了他，然后他说：‘我父亲就在Yesco工作，我们家就在拉斯维加斯，早在80年代它就在制造霓虹灯了。让我去问问他，我确信我们那时就在那里（指快餐店所在地），那家店的彩灯就是我们做的。’结果一点不错，那些灯就是很多很多年以前出自他父亲之手的，那可比我遇见Brandon早多了。所以这是种不可思议的精神交联。”
霓虹灯树乐队正在进行巡回演出，宣传他们的新CD《图片展》。他们刚刚发布了新专辑中的第二首单曲。
