Consisting of four women: Linda Perry (vocals), Shaunna Hall (guitar), Christa Hillhouse (bass), and Wanda Day (drums), 4 Non Blondes is a pop rock, one hit wonder. Their song "Whats Up!" peaked at 11 on the Billboard Top 200. Formed in 1989 following an ad by Linda Perry in the newspaper looking for female musicians, it didn't last long beyond their first album. 1995, Linda Perry released her solo album "In Flight" and went on to release another solo album "After Hours" in 1998. Linda Perry is still an active song writer and composer.The album Bigger, Better, Faster, More .... has very impressive vocals. Linda Perry has always been acclaimed for her variations and high pitched vocals. Songs like Superfly, Whats Up!, Pleasantly Blue and Dear Mr. President have a pop rock and blues touch to them. Influenced by Led Zeppelin, 4 Non Blondes have a unique style of their own. The music itself is quite rich unlike most all girl bands which tend to sound like other regular mainstream pop bands. Sadly the band could not use its potential, swaying too much with the popularity currents and not capitalizing opportunities it remained a one hit wonder.
