Biography

Formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, The Bangles, originally known as The Bangs, were a female band comprising Vicki Peterson, Debbi Peterson, and Susanna Hoffs. After releasing their debut EP and album, the group signed with CBS Records in 1983, with Michael Steele replacing Annette Zilinskas on bass. Their second album, "Different Light," featuring hits like "Manic Monday" and "Walk Like an Egyptian," propelled them to mainstream success. Following the release of their third album, "Everything," and disbandment in 1989, Hoffs pursued a solo career.

In 1998, The Bangles reunited for a song on the Austin Powers film soundtrack, leading to a tour in 2000. The band released "Doll Revolution" in 2003, with Steele departing shortly after. The group continued performing with Abby Travis on bass. Hoffs collaborated with Matthew Sweet on cover albums and produced The Bangles' fifth record, "Sweetheart of the Sun," in 2011. The band continued touring and participating in various events, including the Paisley Underground compilation in 2019, showcasing their enduring presence in the music scene.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact.
