We hope you can dig deep and help us seize this incredible opportunity.

We never could have anticipated this level of support and generosity. With approximately a third of our campaign time remaining we have reached our SECOND goal of $5000. We could not expect anymore from you all, but we're certainly not going to demand that pledges cease from this point. As you can imagine everything we raise and more will be needed in our venture to the UK. Thank you all so much for being so amazing and we're hoping to reward you all in ways the exceed those stated within Pozible.




“Slamming anarchy, euphoria, distortion, drenched guitar riffs, and polished dance beats together into an intoxicating brew.”- Everguide

The Killgirls are a 5-piece indie/electro band with teeth, making music for party people. Having played up to the ecstatic mayhem of the 2010 Adelaide Fringe Opening Party in front of 40,000 people, 2011 saw them score a Boiler Room spot at the Big Day Out, rock Parklife, play The Clipsal 500 after race party, as well as many other shows around the country. They have shared stages with Art VS Science, Die Antwoord, Bloody Beetroots and supported Dead Letter Circus on their NO FRACKING WAY Tour in November. In March of 2012 they were invited to play UK Festivals The Great Escape in Brighton and Sound City in Liverpool, and this is just the beginning.

The Killgirls have grown from strength to strength in their short history, releasing their sophomore EP ANIMAL in October 2011launched at the Queens Theatre (which raised the bar on launch parties) complete with a 50ft blow up Astronaut, killer light show and a crowd surfing guitarist in an inflatable raft. ANIMAL, produced, mixed and mastered entirely by lead vocalist Mario Spate, and recorded by the band - Nick O’Connor on bass, Hamish Cox playing synths, Nick Russell on drums, Rusty Hutchinson on guitar - the EP is the sound of The Killgirls unleashed. The first single, ‘Astronaut’ is a bass driven dance floor anthem at the ready, followed by their debut clip for the title track ANIMAL, guaranteed to take you higher.

‘The Killgirls have proven that no stage can contain their live show’– Faster Louder

Thanks to a solid work ethic, a high benchmark for live shows and great opportunities, The Killgirls have honed their performance skills, delivering exhilarating performances at will. In mind, body and music, the bands clear aim is to get the party started – immediately. They slam aggression into excitement in an effort to inspire and invigorate; to get audiences pumped up and crazy. Clarity and anarchy with a charismatic male vocal, distorted bass, jagged guitar, a catchy synth and solid dance beats to urge you on.

This is the countdown to overload, so buckle up, hang on and enjoy the ride.

‘I hope they start getting some real exposure because they have star quality.’- Richard Holt / Traffik
