Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know whether you are available for our event?.
In most cases Friday's and Saturday's are the most heavily booked dates of the month. 4- 6 months in advance is really not too soon to guarantee a booking/date with a professional Band. When you are booking a Band, start off by the date of the event, time and location.

How Much Do You Charge per Event or Hour?
We will send you an official quotation to your email account. You can contact us here. Please indicate your choice of performers, type of event, duration of event, number of guests attending, venue and the event date. 

Do you use a written contract?
Our company has a detailed Confirmation Letter for our clients to sign. This locks in the clients’ date, time, location or any special music, terms & conditions, how many guests are attending and etc.
A 50% confirmation fee (non –refundable) is required to book the performers for your event. This is very important so that we can decline any other bookings on the same date as yours.

I’m very keen on KG & THE KILLER GIRLS band for my Wedding, but my parents are concerned that it will be too loud. Can you play quietly enough so that the older folks can still hear to talk without having to shout to each other during the wedding dinner?
Absolutely!. One of the most delightful things about KG &The Killer Girls is their ability to perform softly. They are one of the very few bands in town that know how to play softly yet lively!  
They make it a point to start the reception at an extremely low volume. That way, you can always request that the volume be turned up if you'd like. They'd much prefer that you ask to have volume turned UP rather than DOWN.

How do you dress for a performance?

For KG & THE KILLER GIRLS SHOWBAND :

For Weddings, they are very courteous and polite in the way they dress. They wear NON- SEXY but still elegant skirts/ dresses, long pants, high heels and bright pastel colored blouse. They are never in anysexy attire at all for weddings. They always give the spotlight to the bride and groom the whole night through.

For Annual Dinners, Launches and Parties, the Killer Girls wear miniskirts, short dresses, high cut boots, colorful blouses and feather boas. They sometimes wear hot pants too, depending on the situation. Of course, if you prefer them to be non- sexy, that’s not a problem!

For EMPIRE STRING QUARTET :

They normally wear all- black formal clothing. The ladies are either in long skirt, long dress or in long pants and blouse.

How long does it take you to set up?

Much depends on the venue of course, but in general it takes about 1 hour + to get the PA system set up and ready to go. If extensive stage lighting is requested that generally takes an additional 30 minutes.

The band and Sound System typically arrive two hours prior to the contracted start time, to ensure that everything is ready to go before any guests arrive, and to give the band time to change for the performance and have dinner.

Do we need to provide meals for the performers?.

Yes! The performers always arrive way earlier than all of your guests to do a sound check and rehearse for your wedding/ annual dinner to make it really special. It is a common and ethical practice in Malaysia to provide the performers with a decent meal so that they can give their 100% on stage for you.

You’d surprised to know that most bands that performed badly were not provided with meals before they went on stage. Remember, the band arrives way earlier than any of your guests.
It’s not easy to perform when their stomachs are growling on stage during the latter part of the evening while your guests are dining in front of them. So, be nice to the band and they’ll go the extra mile for you!

Do we need to provide an Overnight Room for the band?.

Yes, for outstation venues out of Klang Valley. As you already know, the band arrives early to prepare their exciting show for your guests to enjoy. A lot of energy, effort and time are put in to ensure everything is in order and ‘ready to go’.

After all the effort in traveling to the venue, doing sound check, rehearsal at the venue and any last minute change , the performers need to shower, rest, regain their strength & composure and put on make up in a comfortable air conditioned room. They want to give their best for you, so a Room is very crucial and important to them to ensure nothing but the best for your show.

We’d like to have both the KG & The Killer Girls and Empire String Quartet for our Wedding. Which one should we choose and why?.

Do you want a formal/serious wedding dinner or a lively/exciting wedding dinner? If you prefer a more formal/serious wedding mood and when you have many guests that are from the corporate background then the Empire String Quartet is excellent.

The KG & The Killer Girls are exciting if you want a livelier mood. They’ll talk, joke and sometimes dance off stage with the audience. You can expect a lot of fun and laughter from this act. The choice’s up  to you, really.

Can you combine the Empire String Quartet with a Killer Girl Vocalist?.

Absolutely!. We’ve had many requests for this interesting combination. Whilst the Empire String Quartet is already an impressive show by itself, some clients request to have one of our lovely Killer Girls to add a more ‘spice’ to the show.

We’ve done that many times. Yes, it sounds lovely!

Do you require Payment in Full prior to the day of my event?

No. Once we receive your confirmation fee, no further payment is due until the day of the function. Whether we are paid before the beginning of the event, during, or after our show, it’s up to you. If you PREFER to pay in advance so you have one less thing to worry about, that's fine, of course.

For Weddings, it’s very common that we receive our payment in cash as the couple prefer not to carry so much cash with them after the Dinner.

Do the Killer Girls sing only female songs?. What about male songs?.

There is one male Musician/Vocalist in the Killer Girls band. He is also the male Vocalist and adds in a very impressive vocal power and lovely vocal harmonies to the band. You can expect to hear popular male songs from Beatles, Bee Gees, Billy Joel, Bon Jovi, CCR, Earth Wind & Fire, Elvis, George Benson, George Michael, Lionel Richie, M. Shariff, P. Ramlee, Robbie Williams, Ronan Keating, Sam Hui Tom Jones, U2, Westlife and many more.

I understand that your Show comes with your Sound System. Why can’t you use the hotel’s Sound System so that I can save some cost instead of hiring your Sound System?

Just about all the 4- 5 star hotels that we’ve performed in for the last 17 years have mediocre sound system. They are meant for speech and very light music playback and are NOT meant for ‘live’ performances. We’ve our share of bad experience with these sound systems that have damaged and tarnished many Weddings in the past and will not advise you to leave your event to chance.

A sound system will make or break your Wedding! Think about it. Seriously. We do not cut corners to make your Wedding bad. That’s why we insist on doing our Shows only with our high quality Sound System.

Where can I see the Killer Girls perform?
 
The Killer Girls are strictly a professional function band, and are seldom seen in pubs, clubs and discotheques unless it’s for special occasions. They perform only for Weddings, Corporate Dinners, Road shows and Corporate events in 4-6 star hotel ballrooms all over Malaysia.

Many full time bands in Malaysia perform every night for years and years without proper rest (if any). This punishing schedule causes exhaustion, fatigue and the lack of enthusiasm to perform after some time. They will be drained out by the time your event arrives and when they perform, they can’t give you optimum performance you expected. We’ve seen that happen too often.

The Killer Girls are however are very enthusiastic, energetic and ready to perform for your event, as they do not perform every night like those contract bands. That means you are getting the freshest, most enthusiastic, most alert and most attentive performers for your event.

Where can I see the Empire String Quartet perform?.

The Empire String Quartet is also strictly a function band, and are not seen in pubs, clubs and lounges. They perform only for Weddings, annual Dinners, Road shows and corporate events in 4-6 star hotels.
