The Killgirls
The Killgirls are a 5 piece rocktronic timebomb ticking in Adelaide, South Australia. This synth heavy indie grid-rock band are gaining momentum having picked up national airplay in Australia (Triple J-Home and Hosed/Super Request) and supports for Art vs Science, End of Fashion, Bang Bang Eche, Oh Mercy!, Hercules in NY and The Bumblebeez. Having just played to 300+ at Adelaide’s Parklife and about to hit Schoolies in November, The Killgirls are teasing the attention of both national and international music communities.
“..saw these guys at Fuse Fest this year – great energy – reminded me of Midnight Juggernauts
but a hell of a lot more pumped up…”
Nick Findlay – Triple J
In the lead up to the launch of their debut EP, The Killgirls’ kidnapped fans for an intimate listening party 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 spa.
“…best launch ever!”

The Killgirls‘ 5 track EP was recorded at Adelaide’s Broadcast Studio with Melbourne based producer Jed Palmer and mastered by Mike Marsh at the Exchange in London. The decision to master with Marsh was inspired by his work with Does it offend you, Yeah? Prodigy, The Klaxons and The Presets.
2009 saw The Killgirls deliver some heavy blows in Melbourne and secure a handful of supports for Australian dancefloor heavyweights. Right now they’re having fun unloading a refined set on new audiences and warming into another writing period in preparation for 2010.
“The Killgirls played an amazing set (supporting the Bumblebeez). Everyone rushed to the dance floor as soon as they came on and stayed there the entire performance. The front man had a real stage presence and I hope they start getting some real exposure because they have star quality.”
Richard Holt – Traffik
