THE BANGLES
(Pronounced “Boy Howdy!”)
HOME: All over the place.
AGE: Post-Beatle.
PROFESSION: Football players from Cincinnati. (No, wait a minute...He’p!)
HOBBIES: Waiting in line, strolling along Dover Beach, going down to Liverpool, watching the hero take a fall, being restless, dealing with the Real World, surviving the Beatles/Go-Go’s comparisons.
LAST BOOK READ: How Is The Air Up There? by Ronnie James Dio.
LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Being an all-female rock band that’s taken totally seriously.
QUOTE: “No, it’s actually about eating hero sandwiches at Niagara Falls.”
PROFILE: Susanna Hoffs (a Berkeley art student) hooked up with the Peterson sisters (Vickie & Debbi) and Michael Steele, got signed, toured with the English Beat, released a pretty good debut EP, appeared as part of Rainy Day (catch Susanna singing “I’ll Keep It With Mine”!), and finally released a stunning debut LP that is getting them compared to Merseybeat. Not bad, eh?
