4D-YKES blends Blues, Rock, Folk, and Country influences together to create the unique '4D-YKES' sound and style that has been described as.... "A sensual, humorous, thought- provoking romp through life and lesbianism." ....."Lyrically well written songs with tunes you can't quite get out of your head." ....."A musical journey of life through the eyes of the 40-ish lesbian, with enough pop sensibility and humor that even the straight people like 'em!" With exceptional harmonies and just plain good music, 4D-YKES! brings their unique message to an audience through humor, tears, and the occasional dose of sharp wisdom only age can provide. Experience it. With the debut CD release 'Hot Flash', you'll find songs such as 'Me & Eugene', the humorous story of a lesbian and her transgendered friend in hillbilly hell, and the 'we don't really recruit' tale in 'Hetero Blues', to the more serious subjects of children growing up in 'Nates Song', and the regrets one feels over the loss of a loved one in 'Goodbye'. Whether it's the haunting 'Wish That Girl Was Me', the anthem-like singalong 'Tuff Luck Buddy', or the rollicking 'If It Takes All Night', 4D-YKES! touches our community and our hearts through humor, tears, and the occasional dose of 'tongue in cheek' wisdom only age can provide!

(Yikes!) Comments/Reviews: "....reminiscent of the great harmonies and plug in acoustic sounds of the Mamas and the Papas, The Monkees, and The Byrds. Additionally, the pleasing harmonies and clever lyrics displayed in Tuff luck Buddy, Goodbye, and Caffeine will put a smile on your face. Nates song is a beautiful Ballad. ......Tired (is) the best on the CD. .....Some strong work and potential here. .......Hot Flash is a must have for anyone who has ever attended the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival." (Gena Burg/ Lavender Magazine) "I recently got your CD and think its EXCELLENT! In fact, I've already played If it Takes all Night (...I'm just nuts over that song) and Hetero Blues on the Radio. Yours is about the only CD recently that's excited me It really pleases me when I can give exposure to artits I think deserve it."
