WASHINGTON — The Harry Reid hipster quotient continues.

Turns out the Senate Majority Leader got an office visit Wednesday from none other than “The Killers,” the Las Vegas-born indie rock band done good.

The band was in town for a show, and decided to drop by the senator’s Capitol office and do a little warm up.

Singer Brandon Flowers offered up a solo of “Home Means Nevada,” the state song, right there under the Mark Twain portrait.

“Pretty cool,” said a staffer. “Reid loved it.”
