Rising Adelaide band The Killgirls are set to bring their electro-rock anthems to Adelaide’s biggest football audience, when they perform at the entrance to AAMI Stadium before Saturday’s Round 4 Showdown between Port Adelaide and the Adelaide Crows.

The Killgirls will be performing from 6.15pm in the lead-up to the first bounce just under an hour later.

Their track ‘Set Yourself on Fire’ is Adelaide’s official theme for the 2011 Toyota AFL Premiership Season, and the AFL and SANFL are delighted to invite the band to perform before the game.

"We're all super excited to be rocking one of SA's biggest sporting events. It's really great to see the AFL supporting local music," The Killgirls band members said.

This is part of a wider initiative from the AFL to build strong alliances and support local music by having bands perform before high profile games.

The Killgirls have been making significant inroads into the Australian music scene, with recent high profile performances at Adelaide’s Clipsal 500, Big Day Out, the Fuse Festival, Parklife and the 2010 Adelaide Fringe Festival’s Opening Night Party in front of 40,000 people, where they collaborated with a 15 piece African Choir!

The Killgirls have also scored support shows for the likes of Art VS Science, Birds Of Tokyo and Crystal and are about to head to Melbourne for the Sounds Loud festival on April 9.
