Dave Keuning

Dave is debuting his own music with the release of his first single “Restless Legs” under the moniker Keuning. The assemblage of new music, created by Dave in his San Diego home studio, was taken from hundreds of voice memos that he stockpiled while on tour with The Killers over the last decade that evolved into songs. Keuning's debut album Prismism was released on January 25, 2019 and is a collection of 14 tracks with almost all instruments played by Dave himself.

Keuning announced in August 2017 that he would not be joining the band to tour in supporting their newest album, although he would remain a member of the group.
