I would like to find out if there are other Bangles fans on the net. I really enjoy their music, especially because it reminds me of the Beatles, etc. However, as the Bangles have said themselves, there has been good music written since 1966. I am interested in finding out when their new album will be released and also, when they will be touring North America. If anyone has information please 'r'eply (?). I found an interesting item today. It's supposedly the first single by the Bangles: Getting Out Of Hand/Call On Me. It came out on the Downkiddie label with the #DK 001. The copyright is 1981. The song Getting Out Of Hand was abridged to make a 30 second jingle for No Magazine. David Roback of Rain Parade co-wrote the flip side with Susanna and Vicki.

The new single Manic Monday is on the radio now. I think it's pretty, but nothing special. There are some keyboard touches and a bigger drum sound, but the essential Bangle-ness is still there. Oh yeah, and Prince wrote it. -- ``Bob'' (Robert P. Krajewski) ARPA: RpK@MC MIT Local: RpK@OZ UUCP: genradbo!miteddie!rpk
