Member Debbi Peterson talked to Patch about what it's like being known for so many iconic 80s songs.
Eighties power pop group The Bangles is coming to Celebrate Fairfax! Saturday. Known for their hits such as Manic Monday, Walk Like an Egyptian and Eternal Flame, the Bangles now balance touring and songwriting with parenting, as all three members now have children. After their break in 1988, the Bangles came back together in 1999 to record a new song, "Get the Girl," for the soundtrack of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. They then released Doll Revolution in 2002 and are expected to have a new album out this fall. We spoke to member Debbi Peterson, who plays drums and guitar and trades off singing duties with her sister Vicki Peterson and Susanna Hoffs. Peterson now has two children - Brian and Keira - with her husband Steven …
