100 Flowers

About the Artist

Emerging from the Los Angeles punk scene as The Urinals, the trio rebranded as 100 Flowers to signal their evolution towards a more intricate post-punk sound. Their live performances became a study in controlled chaos, blending sharp, stabbing guitar riffs with tightly wound rhythms that eschewed conventional song structures like verses and choruses . This approach created an atmosphere of intense focus, where each note felt deliberate and each silence, deafening. Fans often recall the band’s early days at UCLA’s Dykstra Hall, where their initial foray into music was less about skill and more about raw expression—a testament to their punk ethos . Despite their minimalist setup, 100 Flowers managed to craft performances that were both intellectually stimulating and viscerally engaging, proving that sometimes, less truly is more.
