JUST LIKE
THE REAL THING
CASSIDY PEARCE
Despite being formed over 50 years
ago, few bands remain as iconic and
relevant in pop culture as Queen.
Though the vocals and performance quality
of the band is hard to imitate, The Killer
Queen Experience will have you thinking
you’re seeing the real thing.
Formed in 2003, The Killer Queen Experience
first began as a small Queen cover
band, performing gigs out of their home
town in Brisbane.
Now, the Experience has grown to an internationally
touring show, and Australia’s
most sought-after tribute act today.
Much of this comes down to lead singer
John Blunt, who’s not only an original
member of the group, but a Freddie Mercury
impersonator for over 15 years, and one of
the most recognisable Freddie’s around the
world.
Together, the group has created a two-hour
live show, consisting of all of Queen’s greatest
hits, including ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’,
‘We Will Rock You’, ‘We Are the Champions’,
‘Somebody to Love’, ‘Radio Ga Ga’, ‘Another
One Bites the Dust’, plus some lesser known
album tracks for the hardcore fans.
This is a tribute show not to be missed!
‘The Killer Queen Experience’ will be on
at St Marys Band Club on Saturday, June 25
at 8.30pm. Tickets are $39. For more information

ICONIC SONGS ON
STAGE IN THE WEST
CASSIDY PEARCE
Having sold an estimated 100 million
records worldwide, and earned
inductions into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in 1990, and the Vocal Group
Hall of Fame in 1999, Frankie Valli and The
Four Seasons are nothing short of iconic.
Now, their essence is being brought to
Penrith, through the all singing, all dancing
tribute act, The Vallies.
The Vallies are Sydney’s newest and most
talked about vocal group and they’re playing
at Panthers next weekend.
Featuring some of the country’s best
talents, including artists from the original
Australian production of ‘Wicked’ as well
as ‘Jersey Boys’, ‘Catch Me If You Can’, ‘The
Little Mermaid’ and a winner of ‘Young
Talent Time’, it’s no surprise that The Vallies
will be doing justice to the greatest hits of the
past 60 years.
We’re sure they’ll play hits like ‘Walk Like A
Man’, ‘Who Loves You’, ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry’
and of course ‘Sherry’.
As part of the show, the boys will not only
be performing the hits of Frankie Valli and
The Four Seasons, they’ll also be nailing the
sounds of Motown, Doo Wap, Rock ‘n’ Roll
and The Bee Gees.
This show is not to be missed, so get your
tickets now.
‘The Vallies’ will be on at EVAN Theatre
at Penrith Panthers on Sunday, June 26 at
2pm. Tickets are $37.65. For more information
