THE BANGLES
(Pronounced “Boy Howdy!”)
The CREEM Archive presents the magazine as originally created. Digital text has been scanned from its original print format and may contain formatting quirks and inconsistencies.
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?
