The Flowers

The Flowers, (simplified Chinese: 花儿乐队; traditional Chinese: 花兒樂隊; pinyin: Huār Yuèduì), were a Chinese rock band formed in Beijing in 1998. The line-up originally consisted of Dà Zhāng Wěi (lead vocals, guitar) (大张伟), Guō Yáng (bass guitar) (郭阳), and Wáng Wénbó (drums, percussion) (王文博). To expand their sound, the Flowers brought in Shí Xǐngyŭ (guitar) (石醒宇) in 2001. Throughout their recording career, they recorded and released six studio albums. Following personal struggles with fame and possible tensions with Zhang Wei, Xǐngyŭ left in the summer of 2008. The group later held a talent competition looking for a new member to replace Xingyu. The Flowers disbanded in June 2009.
