Band name: Four Sexes.

Hometown: Indianapolis.

Genre: Lounge.

Musicians: Sean Baker the Music Maker, keys and vocals; Toni Tolliver, vocals; Adam White, drums; Jesse Wittman, bass; Jessica Benge, vocals.

What are the benefits/detractors of playing music in and living in Indianapolis vs. anywhere else?

Sean and Toni: It's not L.A. or N.Y., so I don't feel the need to be victim to backstabbing. Everyone here does what they do because they love doing it, and there is a real sense of camaraderie among the music community.

How are you going to put Indianapolis "on the map"?

Jessica: We are not cartographers. Next question, please.

How did you create your band name?

Sean: From the liner notes of a Rosemary Clooney album. "In this town there are four sexes: Men, Women, Homosexuals & Girl Singers."

How many friends do you have on MySpace?

Sean: Forty bazillion, though I can't remember my login and password.

What steps do you take to prepare to rock?

Toni: I consult the Psychic Friends Network.

What is the smallest crowd you've ever played for?

Sean: An IMA garden terrace luncheon -- we actually out-numbered the audience. God love those three blue-hairs.

Why should I go to your show?

Jessica: Attending a Four Sexes show increases your coolness by 10 percent, and well, you could use that.

What is the worst album you own?

Sean: "The Ethel Merman Disco Album" -- OK, I actually like it.

What Indiana band could you pummel in a bout of Local Celebrity Deathmatch?

Adam: The Indianapolis Children's Choir. Those little b------s are goin' DOWN!

What would Pitchfork rate your album (and why)?

Sean: Not sure, only that it is the BEST lounge CD EVERRR, OMG!

Do you have what it takes to be the next American Idol?

Sean-jaya: Once I get the face lift and man-boob job I'll be all set.

How many groupies do you have?

Sean: I lost count after forty bazillion.

Fill in the blanks: If my band were an animal it would be a "cat" because "we're sleek and sexy -- and we've been spayed and neutered."

What is your lucky clothing item to wear onstage?

Toni: My thong-th-thong-thong-thong.

When you end up on Behind the Music, are you more likely to be a former junkie or a former jailbird or both?

All: Former? We hope to still be. =)

What's the funniest thing that has happened to you so far as a musician?

Sean: Getting propositioned by an octogenarian cross-dresser for playing his/her favorite song, "Dude Looks Like A Lady."
