After the Australian Idol experience, Bobby returned to his band, The Omega 3, with whom he’d released an EP in 2003. Explaining the name, Bobby says: “I was painting a house with a friend. He listened to a lot of punk and thought ‘The Omega 3’ was a great name for a band. Of course, Omega 3 supplements are now all the rage – I even take them myself.”

Bobby and his band produced Out Front themselves. “For us, this is a really modest step,” Bobby says. “There are no bells and whistles, we just worked with what we had.” Out Front features 10 Bobby originals and a cover of Under The Milky Way, a song that Bobby did on Idol (Mark Holden called it “a space-age croon”). Whatever way you look at it, Out Front is a remarkable record. The word “journey” is over-used when it comes to Idol contestants, but it’s appropriate when you look at Bobby’s story. It’s been quite a trip already, but you get the feeling that Out Front is just the start.

In a pop world where stars are becoming more and more disposable, Bobby Flynn is in it for the long haul. Spreading the BobbyLove.
