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."

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. π IYKYK.
