Aussie kid band The Flairz has a fan in legendary A&R man Seymour Stein, who told me this morning he was highly impressed by the pre-pubescent trio when he saw them at South by South West. "They're great," Stein told me on the phone (I'm interviewing him for the Icons issue of Swindle magazine). "They need to work on their songs, but they're great."
By the way, Stein, founder of Sire records, knows his shit when it comes to this kind of thing - he's signed a few small bands in his time, you know, like The Ramones, The Pretenders, Depeche Mode...oh, and he discovered Madonna.
After we hung up I called Style Councilor Steffie straight away - she had blogged about The Flairz a few days ago after seeing them play at the Troubadour. I told her that if she ever gets bored of journalism she should seriously consider a career in A&R, seeing as she (not a millionaire) and Stein (a millionaire) clearly have the same taste in music.

The Flairz, are like totally awesome, being at such a young age and achieving something that not many bands can do, is really quite amazing.

I blow the dandelions away, And wish to get away.
They don't realize not being honest with you actually ends up hurting
you more. This is truly a great way to improve on your digital photography
skills fast. It marks the gradual return of the sun and
signifies birth when new seeds of life will spring forth.
The ability to resurrect a failing marriage or career,
or regain self-respect, prosperity or income is a natural talent among these natives.
The great thing about photographing lady bugs is that you can get as close as you want,
knowing that they will not scatter away. Let her
know you can protect her, and hold out on the normal guy stuff like kissing and touching on the first
and second dates. In his later works, James doesn't
so much compose plots as create situations,
and set his characters down in them to see how they will act
and deal with the consequences of their actions. Often depicting interactions between people as contests of will,
duels of dominance and submission, Henry
James not only shows, but describes in minute detail the history of these strategic secrecies.
