Local Brissie boys 52 Flicks are fast becoming the new pop/punk/melodic band that demand attention from high-profile producers and screaming girls alike. Stuart Stuart who has previously worked with the Veronicas, Small Mercies and Repeat Offender produced the new 52 Flicks EP ‘Bedtime Stories and Morning Glories’ and the resulting sound is polished, punky and enticingly electro.

Sarah caught up with the boys for a chat about what’s new, what’s old and what’s in store next for 52 Flicks.

You guys have just finished a new EP – congrats! How does this one differ from the first?

Thanks! This one is a lot more professional than the previous. The first EP was more like a demo, it got us started and assisted in getting the fan base underway. However, it lacked in sound quality and arrangement. Our latest EP is the real representation of us. Everything on the cd is played live and we have added electronic synth riffs to bring out more originality in the music. We are extremely pleased with how it turned out, and so is our rapidly growing fan base!

You guys have a show at the Zoo on the 8^th of April. What can punters expect from a 52 Flicks live show?

We are very much a live band. We just go off from the start right till the end. We have fans say, “your cd is amazing, but you guys are even better live.” Its just something about playing live that we like so much. We were born entertainers, so we get very involved with the crowd and often expose ourselves! We will manage to keep people entertained from the start till the end of our set!

Your latest EP was produced by the renowned Stuart Stuart (The Veronicas and Small Mercies) – how was it, working with him?

Stuart is an amazing producer. He has an excellent ear for music + he’s funny! We discovered him through a band we liked, so we got in contact and went from there. He came over to our rehearsal space, had a listen, and was really into it. So we dug further with him and got the best possible result we could have hoped for. It was a little difficult at first trying to accept some of his decisions but as we soon realized, he really new what was best for the music and the band’s direction. We rate him 5 star!

52 Flicks have recently done a high school tour – how was that experience? Were there a lot of screaming schoolgirls?

There was too many screaming girls. They were popping our ear drums! The high school tour was amazing, we really connected with a lot of students and made a large fan base as a result. It was hard doing 4 weeks of constant touring, spending more time setting up and packing up PA systems than playing, but it really pushed us in the right direction and has given us a good indication of where the band is going! We certainly looked forward to doing it again, maybe not the organizing so much

What’s in store next for 52 Flicks?

Well its been a massive year so far, but we only expect it to get bigger. We are currently organizing a 6 week high school tour up North to Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Gladstone, Townsville, Cairns and Mackay. After that we’ll be having a quick rest, be writing a few more songs, and then we’ll play a few shows in Sydney and Melbourne. After that we’ll begin to get ready for our 3^rd EP. The best thing is that we’ve organized everything ourselves and it’s working out awesome! We look forward to exciting times to come!!!
