The Bangles, live at the Ritz, New York on September 28th, 1984The Bangles rose to fame against the backdrop of California's 'Paisley Underground' in the early 1980s when 'girl' and 'power' were still unrelated. Before the big hitters of Manic Monday, Eternal Flame and numerous others, Los Angeles' coolest rockers had only just begun to shape the future of pop music alongside The Go-Go's with IRS chief Miles Copeland. In 1983, they were taking their debut album nationwide, armed with two hit singles, self-belief and determination. Over the next four years, they would become one of the biggest selling bands on the planet with lead singer Susanna Hoffs becoming America's hottest sex symbol.
