Originally "Colours," "the Supersonic Bangs," and "the Bangs," the all-singing/all-performing four-woman Bangles formed in 1981 and sprang from the L.A. paisley underground scene. Later they traded their garage band roots for a slick, heavily produced pop sound that turned them into one of the most successful chart groups of either gender during the '80s.
In the beginning, the group played original, '60s-based guitar rock, and were fond of covering Big Star, the Merry Go Round and Love.
