Have you found it difficult, being women in rock? (Or is that an antiquated stereotype?)

No, completely the opposite, the satisfaction of coming off stage and having your male counterparts come up to you and say “Wow, I haven’t seen a rock band like that since the Stones, let alone it be a group of women,” so the answer to your question is it’s really rewarding because people don’t usually expect a female band to really rock it out hard.

What do you say to those that have an aversion to women being called ‘chicks’? Actually where does the band name come from?

We were playing on the idea of the chick band thing with a little tongue in cheek, so we thought we could turn the connotations of the term Chick Flick on its arse.  I think so far that point has gotten across quite well; lots of punters and industry folk have commented dig the name of the band also.

You play a lot around Brisbane – and you’re venturing further down south on this tour. Any butterflies?

Yeah it is really exciting to finally making our way to Sydney in August and finally meeting our NSW fans we have accumulated along the way.  We also are heading back there later in the year for another mini tour and then Melbourne. 

Silly question, but do girl bands get groupies?

Yeah, some that are welcoming and others that a little on the fine line of stalkery (if that’s a word?).   Most are very genuine and really dig what we do which is very flattering, however on occasions we do get groupies that are a little over the top.  We still do encourage all walks of life to come along and get involved our music, so don’t be scared to come up and say hi to the Chick Flick girls!

What can we expect from your Globe show on Thursday Jul 24?

In your face chick rock & roll and antics to match that will stick with you well after the week is out.

CHICK FLICK play The Globe alongside Starscream 13 and Lair Eon on Thursday Jul 24.
