Bangles To Play Ireland

• 7th Aug 2010

Rock historians have viewed the Bangles as one of the greatest all-female bands ever and they are back performing live together again, with a date just announced at Vicar St. this October 4th.

The L.A.-based quartet with their 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 – a problematic decade that was far richer for the Bangles' presence in its unfolding.
