Kill Matilda is a Canadian female-fronted, four-piece rock/punk/metal musical group formed in late-2007 in Vancouver, British Columbia.[1][2] The group was recognized for its unique, loud and energetic live stage performances[3] and an ability to engage with fans during live shows.[3]

Dusty Exner

Onstage persona

Kill Matilda's lead singer is Dusty Exner (also known as "Dusty Chipura"[2] or "The Girl Icarus"[4]) and is known for an "impressive vocal range".[1] Exner's singing and screaming were noted in reviews and her personality was described as "enchanting",[5] akin to a "punky snarl",[4] and "like Joan Jett on steroids".[1]

Exner, originally of Burns Lake and Prince George,[2] is also noted for extreme stage behaviour (sporadic),[1] a love of beer (the singer is reported to have offered beer to fans prior to Kill Matilda shows),[3][6] and a frequent use of profanity during live shows.[4]

Personal life

Exner is married to Kill Matilda’s bass player, Mykel Exner, who is also noted for his "exaggerated mannerisms" and boisterous personality on-stage.[4]
