Also available @ Big Star Records, Rundle St, Adelaide. Rate us on triple j Unearthed! ‘The What 4’, Adelaide’s new, experimental rock band have just released their debut, full-length CD, ‘Say it Straight’. The band members, from diverse backgrounds, combine their experience and talent to produce a unique, melodic and innovative groove. Previous projects include: Martire, Orgy of Pigs, Free Moving Curtis, Bum Bum, Beltane, Stiff Kittens, Prototype, Happy Porpak, Antireason and Lankey. While focusing on dynamics and a simple formula, the band is driven by a fluid rhythm section, atmospheric synthesizers, emotive guitars, feminine/ chocolate vocals and sound effects. After generating interest through live performance over the past few months, the band were enthused when local, alternative radio station ‘Three D Radio’ (93.7FM) responded with plenty of airplay, sending ‘The What 4’ to No.1 on their weekly ‘Top 20+1’ chart twice this year.

Heya Browsers to the power of 4!!!

Quick questions...

Why is it "Experimantal Guitarists" seem to be experimenting in picking up a guitar for the first time?

Why didn't I in some form of drunken stupor usurp the stage and give bass lessons?

Why didn't I pick up the slimmy that was making with the eyes???

Why did I wake up with a pepper mill in my pocket??? (I actually know the answer to that one but it seems like a good question for giggles!)

How come you guys ROCK???

And finally, why doesn't your bass player call me anymore??? :P

Lotsa Loves Fuzz!!!
