The Killer Barbies is a Spanish punk band fronted by singer/guitarist Silvia Superstar. After some success in Spain on the independent label Toxic Records, they got an international distribution through the German label Drakkar Records in 2000. The band has also starred in two movies directed by prolific exploitation film director Jess Franco: ''Killer Barbys'' and ''Killer Barbys vs. Dracula''. ==Biography== Silvia Superstar (real name: Silvia García Pintos) and Billy King (real name: Antonio Domínguez) formed The Killer Barbies in 1994, and quickly began releasing their material on the Spanish label Toxic Records. They released their first album ''Dressed to Kiss'' in 1995. One year later they released a second album ''...Only for Freaks!'' shortly after featuring in the Jess Franco movie Killer Barbys. They recorded a third album in 1998, ''Big Muff''. The three albums sold more than 10,000 copies each.〔as stated in their official biography: http://killerbarbies.iespana.es/bio.htm〕 After these three successful albums in Spain, the band signed to the German label Drakkar Records, to get a larger audience outside Spain. In 2000 they released their international debut ''Bad Taste'' containing a selection of songs from their first three albums re-recorded. In 2002 they released the single ''Candy'' featuring a vocal participation of Bela B. of Die Ärzte fame and eventually some new material with the album ''Sin Is In'' in 2003. Since then they have been silent except for the compilation of b-sides ''Freakshow'' in 2004. The same year, Silvia Superstar was featured in the Show "Die drei ??? und die singende Schlange" by the German comedy theater company Das Vollplaybacktheater. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Killer Barbies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
