A Polaroid photo of The Bangles in 1980, holding instruments and sitting on the hood of a classic car, alongside a quote from their new book, ETERNAL FLAME: THE AUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY OF THE BANGLES and a screenshot of the book sitting at #1 on Amazon Pop Artist Biographies. The quote is from Susanna Hoffs, dated 1982, and reads " We're not a record company's gimmick, and we're not a packaged money-making scheme... This has been our dream - to be in a band and to play. And we've all been musicians for years. It just so happens that we're girls."

How dare you leverage our founding member’s grief to prop up your fake profile. Disgusting.

42 years ago today we were "L.A.'s newest all-girl explosion."

Today we will try to recreate history as Bluesky's "newest all-girl explosion."

Hopefully it will go better than opening for the English Beat did. 😜 IYKYK.
