Los Angeles Punk rock band formed in 1978 as a five-piece parody of punk rock, at UCLA’s Dykstra Hall dormitory. The band consisted of Delia Frankel (vocals), Steve Willard (guitar), Kevin Barrett (toy drums), Kjehl Johansen (toy organ) and John Jones (later Talley-Jones, bass).

The band changed its name to 100 Flowers (inspired by Chairman Mao Zedong's famous quote), but disbanded in 1983. In 1996, the band reformed as The Urinals releasing a CD of new material in 2003. They later took the name Chairs of Perception (a reference to Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception) before again becoming The Urinals in 2008.
