KILLER QUEEN

Imagine a show that features the musical legacy, energy and iconic performances of this great rock band. That is exactly what Brisbane actor and musician Johnny Blunt did in 2006 when he conceived the idea for Killer Queen Show. Already an experienced and versatile performer, Johnny Blunt decided to pay homage to the greatest rock act of all time. Add a hot band of Queensland’s best session musicians; a wardrobe of detailed and exactly replicated costumes, a stage presence second to none and you have The Killer Queen Show. The only Queen Tribute in Queensland!

 Bearing an uncanny resemblance to Freddie Mercury some audience members have commented on what they saw on stage was Freddie’s ghost; the amazing and very talented Johnny Blunt brings to life on stage this phenomenon that was in two words Freddie Mercury. The moment he steps foot on stage, Freddie’s very essence is alive again, for a moment you almost think you are watching Queen as Johnny belts out all the greats; Johnny prowls around the stage oozing enough sex appeal to give your Grandmother a ‘Sheer Heart Attack’. Johnny has performed throughout Asia and Australia as well as being on several TV commercials. The Killer Queen Show was nominated at the 2006 South East Queensland Entertainment Awards as Best Tribute Show, and performs live with no backing tracks!, just as Queen did back in the day. The Killer Queen Show guitarist, Anthony Smith, even uses a signature copy of Queen guitarist Brian May’s guitar to re-create that authentic haunting sound recognized by the millions of fans all around the world and has been compared to Brian May in his mastery of the instrument. All members of the Band bear enough of a resemblance to Queen and back it up with the musicianship to leave the audience with the feeling that they have just witnessed “Queen” in concert. 

 The Killer Queen Show starts in the 1970’s – the decade and leather and long hair, through to the 80’s and 90’s when Queen were the hottest act in music, with such immortal rock hits as “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, “We Are The Champions” and of course “Bohemian Rhapsody”.

The Killer Queen Show plays to packed houses and passionate audiences. The Band has its own fan base through out Australia and overseas. Because the music featured in the show covers the 1970’s through to the millennium, the audience is always a broad collection of fans from 18 year olds through to retirees – who all share a love of timeless rock music. The Killer Queen Show has supported such acts as Diesel, James Reyne, Mark Seymour, Bjorn Again to name a few, and has toured extensively in Australia and overseas. The Killer Queen Show has also been featured on Channel 9 and played an unplugged session on 4KQ and 4BC. John was recently featured in Womans Day due to his uncanny likeness to Freddie Mercury.
