The Bangles were one of the new generation of independent all-women bands that followed The Go-Go’s in the early 1980s. Consisting of Susanna Hoffs (guitar, vocals), Debbi Peterson (drums, vocals), sister Vicki Peterson (guitar, vocals,) and Annette Zilinskas, who was later replaced by Michael Steele, (bass, vocals). The band was formed in Los Angeles in 1981 as The Supersonic Bangs, later shortened to The Bangs. They were forced to change their name to the Bangles when a band from New Jersey, also named the Bangs, threatened to sue. The single ‘Manic Monday’, written by Prince launched their international career. After 3 successful albums (“All Over The Place”, “Different Light” and “Everything”), The Bangles broke up.
Susanna Hoffs released two solo album in 90’s (a third album remained unreleased). Vicki Peterson joined the Continental Drifters. Debbie Peterson had a short-lived career with Siobhan Maher as Kindred Spirit, while Michael Steele lived in semi-retirement in California.

The Bangles reconvened in 2000 and recorded a reunion album, released in 2003, on Koch Records called “Doll Revolution”. By lucky coincidence(?) their single ‘Eternal Flame’ had since been covered by, and become a hit record for, Atomic Kitten which helped to rekindle interest in its original artist.

All Over The Place is such a good album. Their later albums were nice enough catchy pop, but their first album was most unique, different from all the other mainstream radio hits. Jangly!

Angels Don't Fall In Love and Return Post from the Different Light album, both written and sung by Vicki Peterson who I feel always added extra credibility to the band's musicianship.

It's such a shame that circa 1988 the band couldn't handle that they were regular attractive women while Susanna Hoffs was hotter than a coal fire. (¿ Pussycat Dolls Dont'cha?)
