"The name Freak Morice came from the movie Madagascar. There's a line in it we used to say all the time: 'Shut up Maurice! Can't you see you're insulting the Freaks?!' ... It means a lot more than that now though, ''Embrace your Inner Freak'' is our motto. It basically means embrace that part of you that's unique and different, because that's what makes you, you." says the band in a reply to a fan question. ==Performances== In 2010 they opened for Powderfinger at the Caloundra Music Festival. They also opened the Queensland Music Industry's Q Song Awards Night at the Tivoli Theatre in 2010. The band also played at the 2010 Hays Inlet Festival, on 6 June.
