+LIVE+
One of the defining rock bands of the 1990s, +LIVE+ earned two No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 with Throwing Copper and Secret Samadhi, building a catalogue of enduring rock classics including “Lightning Crashes”, “I Alone”, “All Over You” and “Lakini’s Juice”. Released in 1994, Throwing Copper became the band’s breakthrough, eventually surpassing 10 million album sales and producing their biggest single, “Lightning Crashes”.
The success continued with 1997’s Secret Samadhi, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and went Double Platinum, before The Distance to Here followed in 1999 and further established +LIVE+ as an international powerhouse, taking the band from arenas to stadiums. With a career spanning more than three decades and a catalogue that continues to resonate with rock audiences worldwide, +LIVE+ remain one of the most influential alternative rock acts of their generation.
Stone Temple Pilots
With more than 70 million albums sold worldwide, Stone Temple Pilots burst onto the scene in 1992 with their raucous debut album, Core. A breakout success, the album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and dominated radio with enduring hits including “Sex Type Thing”, “Wicked Garden” and the GRAMMY Award-winning smash “Plush”. Distinguished by their refusal to be confined by musical trends, Stone Temple Pilots quickly established themselves as one of the defining rock bands of their generation.
Stone Temple Pilots have continued to evolve while maintaining the distinctive sound that made them rock icons. Their latest studio album, Perdida, was released in 2020 and marked a new chapter for the band with lead vocalist Jeff Gutt. More than three decades after their breakthrough, Stone Temple Pilots continue to deliver the riffs, melodies and live energy that have cemented their place in rock history.
4 Non Blondes
4 Non Blondes emerged from San Francisco in the late 1980s, fronted by powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Linda Perry. Their 1992 debut album, Bigger, Better, Faster, More!, introduced the band’s raw blend of alternative rock, blues and soul to a global audience, powered by the enduring anthem “What’s Up?” The song became an international smash and remains one of the most recognisable rock tracks of its generation. Though the band disbanded in 1995, their music and influence have continued to resonate with audiences worldwide.
Following her time with 4 Non Blondes, Linda Perry established herself as one of the most accomplished songwriters and producers in modern music. A GRAMMY, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award-nominated artist and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, Perry has shaped the sound of artists including P!nk, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Britney Spears, Adele, Ariana Grande, Celine Dion, Miley Cyrus and James Blunt.
