THE FLOWERS OF UNIVERSE is the new name of
THE FLOWERS OF ROMANCE, an intercontinental glam punk band. One of the semi legendary new bands of the punk/new romantic era.
It all begins with a rock'n'roll swindle, with the band claiming to be the comeback of the original Flowers of Romance, a seminal proto-punk band that never played a concert in its life.
In 1999, a certain Tony Blackplait (or Tõnu Trubetsky) reformed the band with no original members left, and on the first full-length album Paris, he assembled a collective of anarchists around him to play original compositions and cover versions ranging from Sex Pistols (obviously), Deep Purple, Iggy & The Stooges, Claude François (Comme d'habitude in a Sid Vicious spirit, of course), Beethoven's Anthem Of Europe, The International etc.
Since 2011 band with renewed membership changed it´s name into The Flowers Of Universe. Also set of new songs occur with new name.
