4 Non Blondes - "What's Up" [2026 Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve]
Kostas does his standard profile trip on this iconic band who should really have been so much more than a one hit wonder but What’s Up! smashed us to pieces and I think I have posted it so many times now one more won’t make much difference - great song. Deceptively great band!
KOSTAS SAYS: San Francisco's 4 Non Blondes burst onto the national scene with their massive, neo-hippie anthem
"What's Up" from their debut Bigger, Better, Faster, More? Although they failed to recreate the single's success, the album, as a whole, is a fairly engaging mix of alternative rock, quasi-funk, and blues. 4 Non Blondes formed in San Francisco in 1989. Their lineup comprises Linda Perry (guitars, vocals), Christa Hillhouse (bass), Dawn Richardson (drums) and Roger Rocha (guitar); previously in the band were founding members Shaunna Hall (guitar) and Wanda Day (drums).
The name of the band came from an experience the group had in the Bay Area with a blonde family.According to Christa Hillhouse, "Right next to us, there's a trash receptacle with a piece of pizza on top and the kid wanted to pick it up. The mom said, 'No, it's probably dirty, what with the pigeons and people.' And she stared right at us. We were Non Blondes." They said the experience became a symbol that they did not fit the California stereotype. They got their start in the San Francisco bar scene, especially lesbian bars, gaining a significant lesbian following.
