Where Are They Now: The Bangles
Those of a certain age will remember The Bangles, an 80’s pop phemomenon/embarassment depending on your taste.
Who could forget hit songs like “Manic Monday” (written by Prince, incidentally), “Walk Like An Egyptian” and “Eternal Flame”?
After a fifteen-year pause, the original members Susanna Hoffs, Debbi Peterson, and Vicki Peterson reunited in 2003 with a new album called ‘Doll Revolution.’
It was obviously such a huge success *cough* that they were booked for New Years Eve in the Coral Ballroom of the Hilton Hawaiian Village for a gig lasting a whole 75 minutes. Tickets went for $90, $130, and $200.
How the mighty have fallen. Although it was in Hawaii though, I guess.
fair play to Susannah Hoffs though, she is 50 this month and still looks bloody good.

Good point, but was that Googled or are you outing yourself as a Bangles fan and anorack, Screech?

most admittedly googled, though i confess to having done so out of a curiosity as to what she looks like these days having fancied the arse off her when they were about.

Know the Hawaiian Hilton – quite nice actually, as is Ms Hoffs with her doe-eyes. Also Doll Revolution was written by Elvis Costello.
