The Killgirls
Genre:Electronica, Indie, Rock
The Killgirls are a 5-piece rocktronic timebomb ticking in South Australia. This synth heavy indie-electro band are gaining momentum having picked up national airplay in Australia with the J’s and supports for Art VS Science, End of Fashion, Oh Mercy!, Mstrkrft, Crystal Castles, and The Swiss. They've played Parklife, Adelaide Roller Derby, Fuse’s Explode Showcase and Adelaide’s night of nights: the Fringe Opening Party where they rocked a crowd of 40,000 people and played with a 15-piece African Choir. ‘This A-team of Australian synth-rock slayed at the Adelaide Fringe Opening Night extravaganza’ - FuseFestival.com In the lead up to the launch of their debut EP in 2009, The Killgirls kidnapped fans for an intimate listening party and electro-acoustic gig after luring them into an internet/web based ‘treasure hunt’. The stunt fuelled their sold out launch (which raised the bar on killer Adelaide parties) held in the heritage listed Queens Theatre complete with mirror ball skyline, kick ass light show and a spa. ‘…Best launch ever!’ - dB Magazine The Killgirls 5 track EP was recorded at Adelaide’s Broadcast Studio with Melbourne based producer Jed Palmer and mastered by Mike Marsh in London, whose working credits include the likes of The Prodigy, The Chemical Bros, The Klaxons and fellow Aussies The Presets and The Midnight Juggernauts. ‘ I hope they start getting some real exposure because they have star quality.’ - Richard Holt / Traffik Currently the band is wearing in material for their 2nd EP, beating a path to the east coast and looking forward to making some big noises in 2011...
The Killgirls play a tight, tick tock electro rock where synths set it up and guitars knock it down. The frontmans fun to watch too.
