Idle Flowers

The Idle Flowers were a new-wave/power pop melodic rock band formed by Rene Berg in September 1981 in London, England. The band opened up for Hanoi Rocks on 20th January 1983 at the 'Klub Foot', Clarendon and René also guested on guitar with Hanoi Rocks sometime in that year and joined Hanoi Rocks on stage at Birmingham Mermaid on the 27th May for the encore. The Idle Flowers recorded many demos for an intended debut LP entitled "The Leather, The Loneliness And Your Dark Eyes" (which later became the title of René's 1992 solo album) but the recordings remain unreleased. The only official Idle Flowers release was the excellent Plimsouls-esque "All I Want Is You / Fizz Music " single back in 1984 on the Miles Ahead label recorded at the famed Abbey Road Studios.
