Formed in 2012, Flynn Effect are a Brisbane metal group who have attempted to bring a European theatricality to live music, as well as a visual show to rival the sonic performance.
With a debut record, ‘Skin’, released in October 2014, it’s time to meet the guys of Flynn Effect.
Flynn Effect are... A female fronted, alternative band from Brisbane, who love theatricality and making heavy music. Not too heavy, though.
We sound like... The tears of Christ.
Our first gig was... At The Zoo in 2014.
When did you settle on the group's name, and was it a unanimous decision... When we couldn't agree on anything else. Of course it was unanimous, we are one.
In the studio we usually... Re-do vocals many, many times.
If we could tour with anyone... It would be Devin Townsend. Or The Wiggles.
Devin TownsendSocial media is... The ruler of all things.
My favourite app at the moment is... Star Walk. All that space and stuff.
To date, our most embarrassing moment was the time... Our equipment failing mid set.
Life on the road can be... Exhilaratingly and excruciating.
If you'll have us on your bill, all we ask is that our rider contains... Money.
The most scary scenario we've found ourselves in, was... Our equipment failing mid set.
What celebrity/ famous person would you love to be spokesperson of the band? Benedict Cumberbatch. He'd make us seem fancy. The way he makes anything seem fancy.
Benedict CumberbatchThree people you'd like to invite around for a dinner party... The guys from ‘Top Gear’. For obvious reasons.
The cast of 'Top Gear'If we were coming over to your place, what would you cook us? Domino's.
No matter the expense, send me a case of... Nurofen for children.
The last time I saw the inside of a gym was... While I was asleep.
What's the one chore you dislike the most? Load out.
Do you have any phobias... Our equipment failing mid set.
Would you ever partake in a reality show? No. No.
If you could prank any of your friends, who's your target, and how are you bringing them down? Growing up, I always used to prank my sister by telling her she was the reason our parents broke up. She'd always cry, but deep down inside, I think she knew it was a great joke.
Flynn Effect host their album launch at the New Globe Theatre on Saturday 7 February.
