Description:

Fresh from touring as support to SHORT STACK in North Queensland, Brisbane pop/punk /electronic four-piece, ‘Flicks’, are about to reveal their secret crush in the form of their new single, ‘Hayley’, and hit the road for its national launch.

The band – featuring Adam Milad (Guitar/Vocals), Michael Thomas (Bass/Vocals), Hugh Wheeler (Drummer) and Andy Francis (Guitars/Keys) – will soon bestow to the masses their new single in the form of ‘Hayley’ which had given birth to the idea of a chance date with a guy’s most dreamed about girl – a situation most people would be able to relate to. In Flicks case – their love for Paramore front-woman, Hayley Williams. “It was funny, because we met her boyfriend [New Found Glory’s Chad Gilbert ] backstage at their recent Brisbane show and he didn't want to kill us for writing a song about his girlfriend!!”

The track was produced by Todd Morse (H20, The Offspring, Juliette Lewis) and mixed by Grant Wallis of Aneiki fame (most played song on Australian radio in 2001 for ‘Pleased to Meet You’). It was recorded at the The Grove studio with Yanto Browning (Kate Miller-Heidke, Yves Klein Blue) engineering the track.

Originally forming under the guise of ’52 Flicks’, the name deriving from a trip to the movies, it was the addition of the band’s fourth member Andy “Expandy” Francis, that resulted in dropping the ‘52’ from their name.

“One of us was on our way to the movies one day after practice and the friend they were hanging with asked what flick they were seeing,” says Thomas. “The 52 was just our ages added up but since we added a new member this year it made sense to drop the 52”.

“We all write songs separately and together drawing influences from bands outside our genre. It makes it easier to come up with better songs because we all push each other for new improved ideas”.

“We aim to have the best melodies possible and love throwing in some gameboy music during our live set”.

With the band about to embark on a launch tour throughout the country, the band’s live show is heavily driven by an electrically energized set. “We just love jumping around and getting in the crowds face. We spend along time practising making sure everything is perfect. We also enjoy terrible jokes.”

2010 is already shaping up to be a massive year for the Brisbane four-piece having earlier this year supported Sydney rockers Short Stack on their extensive tour of North Queensland.
