Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about The Bangles. By Songfacts®.

Originally called The Bangs, they had to change it because another band had that name. That band offered the name to the girls for $20,000, but they refused. Some brainstorming led to "Bangles," which sounds like "Beatles" and is also the name of a song by the Electric Prunes.

Their first manager was Miles Copeland, who managed The Go-Go's and The Police. He is the brother of Stewart Copeland from The Police.

In a Songfacts interview with Vicki Peterson, she described their sound: "We did a lot of faux 12-string arpeggios. We did a lot of strumming, almost like a folk-rock approach to guitar, and then mixed that in with the punk attack, which was very much a part of our sound, as it was for most of the bands. We definitely played with punk energy, if not necessarily the same kind of nihilistic attitude. We had that energy going behind us. The guitar was attacked more than it was stroked."
