THE BANGLES: RETURN TO BANGELONIA: 6/14/2007 |
|---|
Los Angeles, CA – One of the most successful female groups of all time, the Bangles make a triumphant return to their hometown of Los Angeles with their first-ever concert DVD, available August 14 on Shout! Factory.
Return To Bangleonia was recorded in September 2000 at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles with the original lineup of Susanna Hoffs (Vocals/Guitar), Debbi Peterson (Vocals/Drums), Vicki Peterson (Vocals/Lead Guitar), and Michael Steele (Vocals/Bass). The DVD includes 18 songs as well as extras and a commentary track by the band.
The queens of power pop pull out all of their hits on Return To Bangleonia, from number one singles “Walk Like An Egyptian” and “Eternal Flame” to early fan favorites like “Hero Takes A Fall.” “Get The Girl,” from the film Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is also included. Extras include acoustic performances of “Ride The Ride” and “Manic Monday,” which was written by Prince (writing under the pseudonym Christopher at the time), as well as a candid interview with the band about their storied history and a photo gallery with rare and never-before-seen photos.
The Bangles first hit the radar as a fixture on the LA music scene in 1981. They went on to trade their garage band roots for a distinctive pop sound featuring gorgeous harmonies that would make them one of the most successful bands of the 1980s.
The Bangles released their debut album All Over The Place on Columbia in 1984. The band’s sophomore album, the multi-platinum A Different Light (1986), contained the hit singles "Manic Monday", "Walk Like an Egyptian" and "Walking Down Your Street." 1988's Everything delivered the hits "In Your Room" and "Be With You," and the international #1 single "Eternal Flame." The band broke up in 1989 and each of the band members went on to participate in various other projects, which only contributed to their creative growth. In 2003 they reunited and released Doll Revolution. Shout! Factory released the Susanna Hoffs and Matthew Sweet ‘60s salute Under the Covers Vol. 1 in 2006.
