- Happy Flowers
The musical group, Happy Flowers, was formed in
Charlottesville, Virginia , United States, in1983 by two former members ofthe Landlords , John Beers ("Mr. Horribly Charred Infant") and Charlie Kramer ("Mr. Anus"). This duo combines improvisational noise punk guitar and drums with lyrics often written in the first person from the perspective of a child, with childlike intonation and grammar. Their humorous songs are mainly about freak childhood accidents and common childhood gripes.Happy Flowers' first song, "
Mom, I Gave the Cat Some Acid ", was released during the summer of1984 as a part of the compilation album called "Brain of Stone ". The band's audience grew in1987 with the release of the album, "I Crush Bozo ". In March of2000 , the band went on a four-date tour, the band's first tour in nearly ten years. In March of 2006, the band reunited again and played at theSouth by Southwest music festival inAustin, Texas .Line-up
