Press release from THE BANGS, 1982. Later The Bangles, of course.
Their first 45 and EP are fantastic revved-up day-glo 60s pop, and legend has it they used to blow bands like Black Flag and Red Cross off the stage.

“Sue Hoffs” from THE BANGS, in the pages of LA fanzine NO MAG, 1983.
Guess who. It’s THE BANGS, later known as The Bangles, right around the time of their killer 1981 “Getting Out of Hand/Call On Me” 45 on Downkiddie Records.
The most popular post in the history of my Detailed Twang blog was my post of that 45. If you’ve never heard it, come take a listen right here.
