The Flairz was a garage rock band from Perth, Western Australia, Australia. The band received airplay on commercial and community radio across Australia, including national station, Triple J.

All three founding members were 10 years old and were already writing songs as a band when they started to gain the attention of the music press in 2003. The Flairz then played its first show in December 2003. The band won an award in September 2004 for WAM Song of the Year for the song, "Sidewalk Surfer".

The Flairz released its first EP Rock and Roll Ain't Evil on 15 November 2004 while signed to Lefroy Records—the recording was distributed through MGM.

The lead track from The Flairz's independent debut EP, Rock and Roll Ain't Evil, was the "coolest song in the world this week" on the 19 September 2004 episode of the syndicated rock show Little Steven's Underground Garage, and, as of December 2006, the song receives a high level of airplay on the Sirius Satellite Radio channel of the same name. The band then started playing at several high-profile music festivals in 2005, such as the St Kilda Festival, the Come Together Music Festival, the Big Day Out and Rock-It.

The band then received press coverage in the United States in March 2006 when it played the South by Southwest (SXSW) music conference in Austin, Texas.

In late 2006, the band introduced new band member Georgia Wilkinson-Derums who played bass guitar for the band.

Bullseye is the second EP released by The Flairz—again with Lefroy Records and through MGM Distribution—and was released on 3 February 2007, with Dean Oliver on bass. Airplay of this recording was reasonably high and songs were featured on Rage, Video Hits, Channel [V] and radio stations around the country.
