The Bangles’ Biography
Rock historians view the Bangles as one of the greatest all-female bands ever, lauding the L.A.-based quartet for its inventive incorporation of ’60s folk rock, sunny SoCal harmonies and Beatles/Byrds/Beach Boys/Big Star godhead into a sound all its own – beguiling, frequently bittersweet, but always life-affirming; a canny merger of art and commerce. Theirs was a rags-to-riches story, from the band’s beginnings in L.A.’s Paisley Underground scene through their reign as the smart-pop princesses of the 1980s .
BANGLES BREAKDOWN
The band, composed of L.A. natives Hoffs, the Peterson sisters and original bass player Annette Zilinskas, first hit the radar in 1981 as the Bangs with Getting Out of Hand (on Downkiddie Records), and soon evolved into a tight-knit unit with a distinctive sound juxtaposing ringing guitars and angelic harmonies. After bringing in bass player Michael Steele, the Bangles signed with Columbia, which released their major label debut, All Over the Place, in 1984. The group then concocted their artist,ic and commercial breakthrough, the multi-platinum A Different Light (1986), which contained the hit singles ‘Manic Monday,’ ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’ and ‘Walking Down Your Street’. The final studio album of their first go-round, 1988′s Everything, yielded the hits ‘In Your Room’ and ‘Be With You’, as well as the international #1 single ‘Eternal Flame,’.
