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, Bang Bang Eche, Oh Mercy!, Mstrkrft, Crystal Castles, The Swiss and The Bumblebeez. They have played Parklife, Schoolies, Fuse’s Explode Showcase, the opening of Feast Festival and Adelaide’s night of nights, the Fringe Festival Opening 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’

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. It was mastered by Mike Marsh at the Exchange 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 has began a partnership with Melbourne based fashion label Gibson and is working on the follow-up to their 2009 debut and shifting their focus to building a National profile.

Under Pressure
rating:  3/5
It's got the Art vs Science vibe going on, but they've got an undeniable shouty charm.

Set Yourself On Fire
rating:  3/5
Good driving rhythm to this song, and catchy vocals, it's just a little bit repetitive. Maybe shaved down a bit in length, it would pack some more pu...
