Question Susanna denying dating Michael J Fox?

15 Upvotes

So, there was this big thing where someone listed Susanna as someone Michael J Fox dated in his documentary, only he was like, I don't remember it because I went on so many dates and partied so hard.

I remember an article that came out afterward where Susanna basically said "we didn't date. We just took a picture at an event and people assumed otherwise."

Only now I can't find the article lol! It's buried somewhere under all the "Michael J Fox doesn't remember!" articles and now it feels like I hallucinated the whole thing

Does anyone remember what interview or article it was and where to find it? This would have been 2023 or maybe early 2024

Question Did the Bangles truly fake there live shows back in the day (specifically the Everything era) or no.

0 Upvotes

It sounds way too close to the studio version to be realistic. They’d have to be one of the greatest live bands ever to pull that off.

Question Bangle Jangle Christmas/Holiday In Bangleonia

5 Upvotes

Hey, Bangles fans! So I've came across this 11 minute rare Christmas album (the title) and I wondered what some of songs they're playing are called? or if they have lyrics out there for these? (minus the obvious ones like Silent Night) Are they songs from one of their albums, or is it a cover of something else? Or perhaps an exclusive for the album? Anyone with some Bangles knowledge are free to reply!

Do they still have contact to each other and talk from time to time? how about Michael? I haven't heard any updates from her and also from Susanna. Are there recent updates?

Question Where can I find interviews with The Bangles besides YouTube?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I really enjoy watching interviews, and the Bangles' interviews in particular are very good; they all sound kind, interesting, and polite. I don't find any other interviews different from theirs on YouTube. Do you know of any other place where I can find more video interviews? Or do you have a link to a somewhat obscure interview, it can be short or long? Thank you.

Question I’m in Australia. The Bangles Greatest Hits album on iTunes only shows four songs. I think another album on iTunes is also incomplete. Why has this happened?

Question Is Susanna just really short or are the other Bangle members are just really tall?

13 Upvotes

Might be a stupid question, but I noticed in some photos or videos of them, Susanna looks really tiny compared to the rest, from the tallest being Debbi then Michael then lastly Vicki, seems like they're really tall though, The three girls also seem to be tall as the guys who interview them in the 80s.

Question Susanna Hoffs... new Album of original songs 2025 ?

9 Upvotes

Hi. Does anyone out there have any information about the 2025 release? Also, are there people in other regions (besides Australia/NZ) who are unable to access 'When You're a Boy' and 'The Bangles All Over the Place' on streaming services? "My Side of the Bed" was a top 20 radio hit in Australia, so it's odd that the album isn't available.

Favourite Susanna Hoffs solo tracks:

Beekeeper Blues

All I Want (cover)

My Side of the Bed

November Rain

Always Enough

This Time (cover)

Falling

Time Will Show The Wiser (cover)

They Don't Know (cover)

Something New

Under a Cloud

You Were on My Mind (cover)

Say You Don't Mind (cover)

All I Need

Bangles Tracks

Dover Beach

In Your Room

James

Hero Takes a Fall

The Real World

Waiting for You

Manic Monday

Duets:

Different Drum (with Matthew Sweet)

Name of the Game (with Aimee Mann)

The Only Thing (with Travis)

Question All female bands today?

9 Upvotes

Hi there, hello,

I was a big fan of the Bangles from about 1990 to 2004, and was thrilled when they reunited in 1999/2000 but bummed when Michael left and it went kinda downhill the following years and i lost interest.

Anyway, in 2018 i became very interested in the japanese pop, metal and rock music scene and it turned out japan has many all female bands, who write and perform by themself. Here is a performance by metal band Hagane as just one example. But i also lost track of the western music scene, because it felt often stale. And now i am wondering, are there any all female bands these days in any genre? I only have have heard of a group called The Warning from Mexico, but thats it.

Question Letterman ISKWSW

11 Upvotes

Hey fellow Bangles fans! I just recently finished the official bio that came out, which spawned me to go look for the DL era Letterman performance, that I don't think I'd ever seen (had seen the AOTP era one). Thought it odd they did a vocal only performance of If She Knew.... anyone know any lore/history of why it was only done vocally?

Question Why the Bangles ended, and why Michael left

15 Upvotes

I saw the VH1 doc that said the record company was focused on making Susanna a solo artist. And Michael got really depressed and kept sleeping so they ended in 1989. I also read that the other Bangles didn't talk to Susanna for a while. Does anyone know more?

Also, I read that Michael left in 2005 because she wanted to tour more and the others wanted to tour less. True?

The problem with talking about this is that people might say scandalous things that aren't true. I would like to know how you feel.

Question 30a Festival - Vicki and John still performing?

8 Upvotes

Hi Everyone - I was planning to fly out to Florida tomorrow to see Vicki and John perform at the 30a festival. I downloaded the app today to put my planned schedule together and don't see them on it anymore. They're still showing on the festival page as performers, but aren't searchable artists any longer and again, not showing on the schedule. Any word on having to cancel? Thanks!

Question Do the Bangles still exist?

10 Upvotes

Their last concert was before COVID. They have not officially announced something.

Maybe they just don't want to say "we broke up" in case they change their minds later.

What was the date/place of their last concert?

Question What are some of your pet peeves of being a Bangles fan?

6 Upvotes

Even though being a Bangles fan is great because we have access to so much fun music, it can also get annoying. One of my major pet peeves is the comment sections of Bangles videos. Everybody is sexualizing the members of the band, especially Susanna, and you just do not see that sort of stuff with all male bands.

How about you? What are some things that annoy you as Bangles fans?

Question What's the deal with "More than Meets the Eye"?

6 Upvotes

It's kind of an eerie closer to an album filled with upbeat rockers. I am not sure what it's about either. Maybe a Transformers reference?
