Biography
The Urinals formed at UCLA in Los Angeles in 1978 and pioneered a minimalist punk of very short, few-chord songs, released on their own #Happy Squid Records# and later anthologised on 'Negative Capability... Check It Out!'. As 100 Flowers they made one album in 1983 before splitting; reformed in 1996, the band of John Talley-Jones and Kevin Barrett, with successive guitarists, has since released 'What Is Real and What Is Not' (2003) and 'Next Year at Marienbad' (2015). Their songs have been covered by *Minutemen*, *Yo La Tengo* and *No Age*.
