Young Flowers were a psychedelic rock trio formed in Copenhagen in the summer of 1967 by Peter Ingemann (bass and vocals), drummer Ken Gudman and - from their second release onwards - guitarist Peer Frost. Modelling their sound on Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, they set a new technical benchmark for Danish rock and were among the first to use Danish-language lyrics in a progressive rock context. Their two albums, Blomsterpistolen (1968) and No. 2 (1969), plus a soundtrack contribution to Jens Jørgen Thorsen's film Quiet Days in Clichy, cemented their place in Danish rock history; in 1969 they became the first Danish rock band to tour North America. After disbanding in 1970, Peer Frost joined Savage Rose and Ken Gudman - who died in 2003 - played with Culpeper's Orchard, among others; Ingemann and Frost have kept the band alive since a 2012 reunion.
Peter Ingemann, the band's bassist and co-founder, turned 80 in November 2023 - celebrated with an article and six decades of photos on Gaffa.
