The Killgirls track ‘Set Yourself on Fire’ is Adelaide’s official theme for the 2011 Toyota AFL Premiership Season, and the AFL and SANFL is delighted to invite the band to entertain the crowd before the big match.“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.

Andrew Catterall, AFL General Manager of Marketing and Strategy said, “We are proud to support local Adelaide talent and welcome the fresh sounds of The Killgirls”.

Darren Chandler, SANFL spokesperson said, “The energy of the Killgirls are bound to pump up the crowd before the biggest game of the season in Adelaide.”
