We got 11 tracks, phat reggae, ska, hippity hop, and the usual harmony division recently named the Y3. we also have for our lovely listeners, heaps of special guests incuding a mini orchestral piece.

We love all the support! . . . . Bertha Control [noun]: five-piece, all-womyn explosion of funk, reggae, politics and soaring vocal harmonies. Renowned for lifting entire rooms of the underground into a dancing mass of euphoria, Bertha tickles your ears with a phat bass sound, chunks of funky guitars, an excitable horn section, drums, keys, flute of the forest and, of course, their famous vocal webs of harmony. Bertha kicked some butt on JJJ unearthed with their ska song "Happiness" rated 12th most popular in the roots section. "Out of control" (the title track of their album) is placed close behind on 18 and "reconciliation" number 20. With massive airplay from 4zzz (including top 10 for 9 weeks following the release of Out of Control 2005-06), PBS, Bay FM, Nim Fm, 2NCR FM, 93.7 Edge FM and multiple other stations across OZ, the Bertha's are stoked by all the attention.
