AS THE song says – dynamite with a laser beam, guaranteed to blow your mind – anytime – it’s Killer Queen.
Well maybe not – but not far off it. Killer Queen pays homage to Britain’s regal rock quartet Queen, one of the world’s most innovative and influential bands.
Fine-tuning the show since 2003 they are fully-costumed, coupled with accurate instruments and a cast resembling the original members of Queen.
You will be forgiven for thinking you’re in the presence of the real band. John Blunt as Freddie needs to be seen to be believed – the resemblance is uncanny.
Killer Queen is also an international touring act. Since 2010, the band has performed interstate and overseas in Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Singapore (four 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. Killer Queen also supported Kelly Rowland at the Big Gay Day in Brisbane 2011 in front of 7,000 people.
The band has 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 look-alike competition for the French Television show Qui Sera Le Meilleur Sosie? in front of seven 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.
They have received rave reviews and testimonials from the likes of Danii Minogue, Red Symons, Larry Emdur, Grant Denyer and Glen A. Baker, to name a few.
