Since the Bangles' heyday in the 1980s, singer Susanna Hoffs has added several bullets to her resume.
The California native became a wife, mother and solo artist during the 1990s, and the new millennium found her reconvening with the Bangles for a critically heralded reunion album. Although she continued touring with the group, Miss Hoffs also launched a partnership with fellow songwriter Matthew Sweet, whose fanaticism for '60s pop music rivaled her own.
Using Mr. Sweet's home recording studio, the duo began recording new versions of classic '60s songs. The material encouraged Miss Hoffs to buffer her melodies with dense vocal harmonies — a talent she previously had honed to precision with the Bangles — and the resulting work was released in 2006 as "Under The Covers, Vol. 1." Three years later, Miss Hoffs recently completed a second installment of "Under the Covers" — this one delving into the 1970s — while concurrently working on a new album with the Bangles.

I hear ya! She is/was nice to gaze upon.
Absolutely 1000% Not Guilty. I need to put her on my page.
If only her MOM hadn’t directed that film, we might’ve gotten to see MORE of her. ;-D
Yeah, she is extremely sexy. I have always had a crush on her.
Nice to talk to, too. I’m not really one to name-drop, but I talked with her a couple of times in the early days after shows, when they’d just sort of hang out a bit, and she seemed just normal and nice. A little shy, even. Super cute. I think I rambled something stupid to her about how I loved that they cover my fave obscure ‘60s groups like the La-De-Das and the Merry-Go-Round...
Gem??
Thanks for the update. I lost interest/track of them about the time their 2nd album came out
LOL. A Bangles re-union. Finally, our long national nightmare is over!
Hey, I’d rather listen to and watch them than Obama, that’s for darn sure! :)
That means I didn’t think that was their best effort.
Nice Ricky.
Hoffs re-teams. Why?
Real nice. Nothin but the utmost respect and decorum showed to a married woman here on FR.
A girl playing guitar? Get out of here!
A terrible song, IMO
“Manic Monday” was written by Prince.
The best Bangles songs in my opinion are the ones that they wrote themselves. Followed by the ‘60s garage-rock covers.
I know. Probably why it stinks.
Here is more to my taste.

I had the biggest crush on her when I was a lad. I saw the Bangles live at a little club once and stood about 10 feet from Susanna and she looked right at me! What a babe.
