The group returns for intimate performances
Iconic rock band 4 Non Blondes has announced two exclusive club shows in Los Angeles at The Roxy on December 15th and San Francisco at Great American Music Hall on December 17th. These performances mark a triumphant homecoming nearly 3 decades in the making and follow the band’s widely celebrated reunion and a string of successful festival appearances across the country. These limited club shows will bring the band back to the cities where it all began, offering both longtime and a new generation of fans the rare chance to experience 4 Non Blondes in an intimate setting.
Presales start tomorrow (Wed, Sept 24th) ahead fo the general sale on Friday, September 26th.
“4 Non Blondes has been having a great time playing all of these incredible festivals, but honestly, we are excited to get back to the clubs,” frontwoman Linda Perry says. “It’s where every band starts, you figure out what songs people like, learn about your mistakes, how to read the audience, most of all the audience gets a better understanding of who you are in this more intimate setting. My name is Linda Perry and I endorse this quote.”
4 Non Blondes’ debut album, Bigger, Better, Faster, More!, spent more than a year on the Billboard 200 after its release in 1992, going platinum and spawning the anthem, “What’s Up?,” ubiquitous on MTV at the time and still a rallying cry against those forces of quasi-political control in the name of personal freedom. The song entered the prestigious Spotify Billions Club in November 2024, while the video is currently closing in on two billion YouTube views. Despite their meteoric rise, 4 Non Blondes disbanded in 1994, with Perry going from her auspicious start in 4 Non Blondes to a wildly successful career as a songwriter, producer, label owner and, including such platinum records as Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful,” Gwen Stefani’s “What You Waiting For?” and P!nk’s “Get the Party Started.”
In 2025, Perry reunited with her original band, 4 Non Blondes, which she first formed in the Bay Area in 1989, in the middle of an earthquake with co-founding bassist Christa Hillhouse. The two have now joined with drummer Dawn Richardson and guitarist Roger Rocha, both members of the original touring band, for the first time in more than 33 years.
Perry set up a rehearsal in San Francisco, which she deemed “awkward at first,” but after getting together and playing, it proved promising enough for Linda to write “a bunch of new songs, revisit some old ones, and bam, we have an album. It’s really that simple. They’re all phenomenal players and now they get a chance to show that. I couldn’t ask for a better band to play these songs.”
4 Non Blondes has confirmed that they will release a new studio album in 2026, their first new material since their acclaimed debut, Bigger, Better, Faster, More!
