Eric Law's 2005 Live Show Year In Review
“2005 also was the year the Killer Abs made their debut. I quickly became a fan. What's not to like? Five pretty women, bashing out your punk rock favorites like it was 1976. They obviously are having so much fun, and their smiles and laughter are infectious.”
THE NOISE, Issue 268 2/1/07 MUCK & THE MIRES, RED INVASION, THE KILLER ABS
T.T. The Bear’s, Cambridge MA 12/30/06
"This is something like the third time I’ve seen Killer Abs, and I realize how easy it would be to dismiss them as a minor amusement—a ladies-only punk rock cover band. But here’s the thing: they perform with more genuine soul and love for the art style than many bands playing originals. They deserve some sort of spiritual credit for their good work. They deserve some sort of credit for their version of “Love Love Love” which is surely a thing of beauty. It would be aesthetic heaven to see Killer Abs playing a hotel bar, Holiday Inn, or bowling alley! Please, Lord—let me experience that one before I die!"

"Killer Abs proceed to kick our butts and I enjoy (while only slightly distracted by the dual ponytail cuteness that embodies Kimi Hendrix) songs by The Buzzcocks, Bags, Neighborhoods, etc." - Slimedog

"Cuter than puppies, and they don't eat their poop."
The New York Times "They scream, they sing, they fall down, they take their clothes off, they cross-dress, they vomit."
-- Konstantinos Lagoudakis, mayor of Malia on Crete, and okay, yes, he was actually describing British tourists in Greece, but he could've also been referring to a Killer Abs show.
Hello all I usually use Myspace as a way to network in music I have many friends on here, some of you I know personally and some I only know by the music you create.. I listen to a lot of great non-main stream music here. I am also able to keep track of bands I like and find new bands to see. This is in my opinion, the best part of Myspace.. Today however I am writing to you about another passion of mine, off road vehicles and dirt biking. Recently it has come to my attention that the Myles Standish State Forest in Plymouth Ma has been permanently closed to off road riders. The one way marked trails have been a safe place to ride for a lot of people. Walkers, runners, Bicyclists, and horses have all been able to safely enjoy the forest on their designated trails. Now off road riders are being discriminated against and banned from using their designated trails. This however does not stop them from doing so. It just forces them to ride recklessly unlawfully and dangerously on trails no longer designated to them. It has caused numerous accidents from people fleeing police and recently a 16 year old was seriously injured. I have to wonder in an economy where police do not have the resources and money to pursue child pornographers, pedophiles and rapists. But buy multiple $10,000 four wheelers and spend hours sitting on dirt trails for the off chance they may catch an off road rider harming no one. That these priorities are pretty messed up. This is why I started the cause “Re-open the Myles Standish State Forest to off road vehicles” and I am asking for your support thanks for listening Tim
