4 Non Blondes were formed in San Francisco in 1989 by Linda Perry, already
celebrated in the Bay City's blues clubs for her Janis Joplin-style roar,
for her doleful acoustic guitar and her open homosexuality.
In 1990 the band had a local hit with
Mr President, but it was the album Bigger Better Faster More
(Interscope, 1992) that climbed the charts.
The material is eclectic and not always original, often recalling an
amateurish Jefferson Starship, nervous when incorporating
funk (Calling All The People) or rockabilly
(Old Mr Heffer).
Perry's vision was best displayed in the cogent ballad What's Going On
(their hit) and in the blues Train.
Perry's tormented soul agonized in Drifting and Spaceman.
Her first solo album, In Flight (Interscope, 1996), was a
slick production aiming at the charts
(In My Dreams, Knock Me Out).

Le 4 Non Blondes vennero formate a San Francisco nel 1989 da Linda Perry, gia`
famosa nei club della citta` per il suo ruggito alla Janis Joplin, la sua
dolente chitarra acustica e la sua spavalda omosessualita`.
Nel 1990 ebbero un primo successo locale con
Mr President, ma fu il loro album Bigger Better Faster More
(Interscope, 1992) a lanciarle nelle classifiche.
Il materiale e` vario e non sempre
originale, talvolta ricordando una versione amatoriale dei Jefferson Starship,
titubanti nell'incorporare funk (Calling All The People) e rockabilly
(Old Mr Heffer), probabilmente piu` autentiche nella ballata
What's Going On (il loro hit, canto isterico e climax drammatico)
e nel blues Train.
