Flowered Up was a five-man Baggy band originating from Camden in London. Read Full Bio ↴Flowered Up was a five-man Baggy band originating from Camden in London.
After releasing two singles ("It's On" and "Phobia") on Heavenly Records, Flowered Up signed to London Records and recorded their first (and only) album A Life With Brian (1991). The band were unusual in that, musically, they resembled Madchester bands such as the Happy Mondays but, whereas almost all of those bands came from Manchester or the environs, Flowered Up came from London.
A Life With Brian contained many of their popular live songs as well as new versions of the previously released singles. However, the album was said by many not to live up to the promise of their live performances. Not long afterwards, Flowered Up released what some believe to be their creative high point: the 13-minute single "Weekender", again on Heavenly. 'Weekender' which was released with an expensive video directed by W.I.Z. which told the story of a particularly debauched night out, was thought by many to sum up the whole 'clubbing' and ecstasy culture that had grown up in the UK in after Acid House.
The debauchery hinted at in their music was not merely a pose, and after much publicised drug problems with some members of the band, and some more generally unproductive (and unreleased) studio work, the band split up.
A Life With Brian has since been rereleased by London as The Best of Flowered Up and now includes the 12 inch version of "Weekender".

I remember watching hours of MTV with my video recorder ready to go waiting for this to play so I could tape it. Finally got a good copy after a few weeks of waiting!! Talk about a feeling of satisfaction! Good old days, when music like this wasn't just on tap - and because of that, it seemed a bit more special. Don't get me wrong, I love having 150gig of music at my fingertips, but there was something different back then when MTV was actually about music.

I have shown many people this video on my travels around Europe, everyone who has seen has agreed it’s brilliant and prob the best capturing of a hedonistic weekend session ever filmed. RIP to Liam, a working class lad who dreamt big but ultimately came up short. However, you left us this video mate, a legacy so worthwhile your name will forever be associated with greatness #weekender
