4 Non Blondes

4 Non Blondes formed in San Francisco in 1989 with Linda Perry on vocals, Christa Hillhouse on bass, Roger Rocha on guitar, and Dawn Richardson on drums. They signed with Interscope Records in 1992 and released their debut album 'Bigger, Better, Faster, More!' that same year. The lead single 'What's Up?' became a worldwide hit, though the band's time together was relatively brief.

Their debut album contained other tracks like 'Spaceman' and 'Pleasantly Blue,' but 'What's Up?' was the song that defined them. After releasing a second album in 1995, the group disbanded in 1996. Linda Perry went on to write and produce for other artists, while the other members pursued different paths in and out of music.

What remains is that one big song, still recognizable decades later. It's the kind of track that shows up in movies and gets covered by other artists, keeping the band's name alive even though they weren't around for long.
