Yes, finally a new record from The Killer Barbies, a CD album with a 3D sleeve and their first album since 2003 and Sin is In.
Recorded in Vigo and released on La Iguana Records and released in March 2020. Billy King didn't lie when he told me that The Killer Barbies was recording
new material. The album is co-produced by Billy and Silvia and all songs are written by this dynamic duo. Founding member Dr. Gonzo plays the guitar.

The songs are: 1. De Repente 2. Peligro 3. Sin Ti 4. El Resplandor 5. Adiós 6. Less Love and 7. Real Wild Child

Original version of El Resplandor was released in 1998 on Toxic Records (and a great performance of this can be heard on some TV performance Youtube clip
along with Solo Para Ti. Two of my favourite songs by the band and from a time when their sound was at their heaviest). Less Love first relesed as Silvia's
2009 solo single from her album (watch the really cool video below) and Real Wild Child an Iggy Pop tribute

The groups core all since the start are the duo Billy King (Antonio Domínguez),
a great drummer providing that important heavy beat and spanish punk queen
and trashrock icon, singer Silvia Superstar (Silvia García Pintos) both from Vigo.
Silvia were during the 1990's - 2000's undisputedly the sexiest most charismatic
female singer in rock since the days of Debbie Harry.

Not the greatest voice in any way, but she (and we) couldn't care less about that.
That spanish accent of hers is so sexy when she sings in english, and in spanish
(or gallego) she's even better, and she would be adorable in cantonese too.
The group's only - almost - hits were Love Killer and (They Come From ) Mars.
In the latter mighty fun music video, evil marsians can be seen shooting nuns
and abducting the sweet and very innocent Silvia.

The first time i heard the Barbies was in schlock-maestro Jess Franco's 1996
horror-musical-comedy Killer Barbys somewhere around 2001-2002, and i was
hooked to their energetic and happy style of rock'n roll ... and in love with Silvia.
The US Shriek Show horror dvd included their killer music video - Mars and a
nice interview with the very sympathetic couple Silvia and Billy

My first contact with The Killer Barbies was watching cult director Jesús Franco's Horror - Comedy and promotion sort of Rock Video for the band, his 1996
Killer Barbys. Jess had to title the film "Killer Barbys" instead of Killer Barbies beacause of the US Barbie corporation legal threat.
Yes, this is trash for sure and many Jess Franco fans find this to be one of his worst, but i beg to differ. They mustn't have seen his other films then made in
the 1990's and later to say something like that as this actually is one of his better films made around this time. Why? Because of genre cult actors as Aldo
Sambrell and Mariangela Giordano but in my case mostly due to the charisma of the beautiful Silvia Superstar and the great music by her group Killer Barbies.

You can read more about this film further down on this page, but it basically is about a Spanish Galician rockband on tour who loses their way and has to take
shelter at a castle where the mysterious countess Olga von Fledermaus alias ex-filmstar Olga Luchan resides. She's a vampire and is provided blood by her
henchman. Billy King, the drummer, has sex in a van and that's not good for his survival prospect. Will lovely Silvia/Flavia make it through the night alive?
All through the film some of their best songs can repeatedly be heard, as "I Wanna Live in Tromaville", "Love Killer", "No Future" and "Comic Book".
This was the UK Screenbound Pictures 2017 DVD edition and with no extras. In 2001 i watched the US Shriek Show DVD which as extras had 2 Music Videos
- They Came From Mars and Downtown, and a very nice interview with Silvia and Billy (unfortunately this interview is nowhere to be found today).

And, in 2015 there were finally some really good news from the legendary drummer and songwriter of The Killer Barbies, Billy King (Antonio Domínguez), namely
his new group - Los Pontiaks with Billy on drums, André Loud-Rider on guitar and Mr. Cobra on bass playing some fun and energetic Psychobilly Surf Rock.
Their first record EP Psycho-Sonic-Boogie with 1. Gorillas A-Go-Go 2. Sin combustible and 3. Chicas Pendejar was released in May 8th 2015 , and their album
Motel Acapulco with no less than 18 songs of cool Garage Surf Rock was released in 2018.

Listen to Los Pontiaks Sin Combustible on their Facebook page - the video with some nice Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill! footage, and the Gorillas A-Go-Go video
had footage from some old El Santo movie .... Mexican wrestler Superheroes, Tura Satana and Russ Meyer boobs, drama and action, it can't get any better

When going on vacation in October 2019 i had no idea of where to go, until i remembered how beautiful green and lush Galicia seemed to be when i watched the
Vuelta (a cycling race) some years ago, and .... Hey! Didn't The Killer Barbies and Aerolineas Federales come from Galicia. Yes they did, so Galicia it had to be.
I had a fantastic stay in Vigo with friendly people, great seafood, The Cies island and fine Spanish beer. This hilly town, Up, Up and Up again bettered my stamina
too. What a nice town and what a friendly atmosphere, and, i was lucky too that Vigo rock legend Billy King would play there with his band Los Pontiaks.
A nice concert of Garage Surf rock and i could talk with The Billy King afterwards. Great! He told me that The Killer Barbies was recording new material and that the
group was about to come alive again .... for real. Just lovely. Finally. Yeah, and i bought their album too and had it autographed by the band

They made their debut in 1994 with the single I Wanna Live in Tromaville,
a declaration of love to their beloved and fun Psychotronic Trash Culture and
something of the group's Credo. The group's latest and greatest album were
The Mighty Sin is In from 2003 - and it's very much recommended, a great,
great album it is, released by Germany label Drakkar.

Then we heard nothing until the spanish tribute album to Tom Petty in 2005
were the band contributed with an unjustly ignored killer version of A Thing
About You. And then we heard Nothing more of The Killer Barbies for a long
time but according to Silvia they never disbanded but were only taking a rest.

Silvia though, has been acting in films as (Ellos Robaron la picha de Hitler) and
on spanish TV. She has been singing with her old pre-Barbies band Aerolineas
Federales and with other artists on some gigs and she has prepared her solo
projects. In february 2009 her first solosingle Less Love was released and a über
cool music video - See below, and her soloalbum followed.

Today Silvia's in her 4th decade as a performing musician and even though she must be in her middle age she continues doing what she does
best - to write catchy punk-pop songs and to Rock & Roll all around Spain and to act in films. She's must rightly by her talent and endurance to
be regarded as the Statesman or Stateswoman of Spanish Punk. May her inspiration continue for many years to come.

BUT - even though Silvia has a good time playing with a bunch of younger talented musicians i can't help thinking of how a re-united Killer
Barbies would sound like today. What cool songs would the talents of the duo Billy King and Silvia Superstar come up with ?

May The Beautiful Barbies one day return and show all boring nowadays cutie-cute and arty (they're probably architects the whole bunch)
spanish indie bands what Real Pop-Punk Energy sounds like. Sure i don't mean bands as Ponferrada's Juniper Moon as they're were fantastic
(but they sadly split up already in 2004) or the punky Valencia girl band Lisa Sinson and some others. Energetic punky garage rock is my thing

In february 2009 it was time ... finally
... after many years of silence on the
record front, for her solo record.

Less love - the first single from her
forthcoming solo album.

Watch the youtube musicvideo below,
it's Pure Power and Orgasmic fun

Poster with beautiful Silvia in the bath

2 Musicians in the main roles, Silvia and Elodio Santos from
Elodio y los Seres Queridos. Does this film look good? Well ...
N, but Silvia with red hair and in a galician turnip western is
something to see. The man behind the film music is Paco Seren
and the rock'n roll queen of Galicia is singing something i guess.

Silvia Superstar, the Spanish
punk queen and the band in a
very trashy but fun horror
comedy from old Jess.
Something of a promotion for
the band, The Killer Barbies

incl. the Galician punk-pop
evergreen Soy una punk

Los Cafres praised 1988 SF13
Tractor Cerebral album's
regarded as somewhat of a
spanish alt. rock classic

What about Billy then?

Antonio "Billy" Domínguez (born 1966) the FINE drummer with that
heavy driving beat, he's also from Vigo, which seems to be something
of the indie-garage-rock center of Spain. He was/is? also the boss of
the Toxic Records label.

Before Barbies he was drumming in the 1980's alternative rock group
Los Cafres and even before that he played with a VERY young Silvia
in a group called The Last of the Philippines. I DO HOPE Billy has written
some new Barbies stuff these last years and are planning The Return of
The Killer Barbies

Their much praised album
El Resto de mi vida
See link left or read more
on my Power Pop page

From the small town of Ponferrada, Léon a great Power Punk Pop
Group with a lot of fast nice guitars, a hammond organ and FINE
girl singer Sandra. The band existed between 1997 - 2004 and
recorded on the Madrid Elefant label.

They made at least 2 GREAT singles: Their debut in 1999 with
Volverás and with the beautiful Sólo una sunrisa (with a music
video made in january 2003). Their cult classic 2002 only album has
been re-issued in 2010 by Elefant Records

This Barcelona indie pop group with the fun name Los Fresones
Rebeldes existed between 1997 - 2003 and gave us pure indiepop
and bubblegum punk mixed in a most charming way.
Not at all tough rockers, only sweet indie.
Famous for their pop classic Al Amanecer from their 1st album
