Killer Queen is a Brisbane-based band paying homage to Britain’s regal rock quartet Queen.
They’ve been fine-tuning the show since 2003 with their fully-costumed, superb musicianship coupled with accurate instruments, and with all the cast resembling the original members of Queen.
You could be forgiven for thinking you’re in the presence of the real band.
Killer Queen is also an international touring act. Since 2010, the band has performed interstate and overseas in places such as Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Singapore (three consecutive years) and Norway (two years in a row).
Killer Queen headlined the Skaanevik Blues Festival with Journey and Foreigner in 2011 and Thin Lizzy and Twisted Sister in front of 10,000 fans in 2012. KillerQueen also supported Kelly Rowland at the Big Gay Day in Brisbane 2011 in front of 7000 people.
2014 proved to be another big year for Killer Queen with countless sold-out shows in and around Australia, ie, Darwin Casino, Cairns Casino (KQ have broken attendance record to date) and Friday night at Twilight at Taronga Zoo Sydney. Another highlight was opening for Icehouse at the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers and closing the year with a New Year’s Eve show for The High Roller Club at Jupiters Casino Gold Coast.
Killer Queen have received recognition within the entertainment industry for both their musicality, as well as their startling resemblances to the original line-up.
In 2010, the band’s very own John Blunt took the stage in a lookalike competition for the French Television show Qui Sera Le Meilleur Sosie? In front of 7 million viewers globally.
Killer Queen have featured heavily in all facets of nationwide media with extensive radio coverage, an impressive appearance on Australia’s Got Talent and a feature on Queensland’s Brisbane Extra.
As a whole, Killer Queen have received rave reviews and testimonials from the likes of Dannii Minogue, Red Symons, Larry Emdur, Grant Denyer and Glen A. Baker, to name a few. Regularly requested for corporate functions and festivals, it’s safe to say Killer Queen are “guaranteed to blow your mind, anytime”.
Tickets are only $12 and are available at www.moshtix.com.au. This is an over 18 event.
