The Bangles Bring Eternal Flame To Dublin...

Way, way, waaay before you had your Girls Aloud and Pussycat Dolls - the 80s gave us the original girlband template: 'The Bangles.' They were really hot. And guess what? They still are...

The Bangles: Susanna Hoffs

It seemed like they came out of nowhere during the eighties - an all American female five piece topped the pop charts with songs like 'Manic Monday' and 'Walk Like An Egyptian.' And sadly we all thought it was hilarious to do the Egyptian walk. Cringe.

The Bangles: Susanna Hoffs

Lead by the uber hot Susanna Hoffs, this all-female Californian group were crazy sexy, could sing any note, dance in heels & a mini skirt, and even play their own instruments while doing all that... Louis Walsh take note.

The Bangles: Vicki Peterson

Now with only 3 of the original 5 members, The Bangles played Dublin's Vicar Street this week and rocked the place with nostalgia and quite a few hit tunes.

The Bangles: Debbi Peterson

And it has to be said, that although the three girls - Susanna Hoffs, Vicki Peterson and Debbi Peterson - are all fast approaching 50, they are still damn sexy on stage. What DO they put in the water out in California?
