Name Origin:
Mendel stated the band's name "was just a random thought that popped into my head that
came from a
Talking Heads
song,
(Nothing But) Flowers
He felt that since the band's
outlook on the world saw that every possible thing was becoming a commodity to be bought and sold,
it was possible that one day, people would even start selling sunny days. The lyrics made him ponder
about what could be sold as property, and come up with the commercialization of sunny days.
