The Bangles Rock Busch Gardens?

Posted by admin in Concert , Backstage Passport

Don't Miss The Bangles This Weekend - July 24 - July 25!

couchBusch Gardens is a whole new park after dark this summer with IllumiNights.  This all-new outdoor summer celebration features larger-than-life puppets, a parade, acrobats, the world’s largest living cuckoo clock and a fireworks finale that guests simply cannot miss. The IllumiNights concert series is on Saturdays and Sundays, through August 22, 2010. All concerts are held at Festhaus Park and lawn seating is available. Performances begin at 6 p.m. and are free for park guests.

The Bangles are an American all-female band that originated in the early 1980s, scoring several hit singles through much of the decade. Rock historians view the Bangles as one of the greatest all-female bands ever, lauding the L.A.-based quartet for its inventive incorporation of '60s folk rock, sunny SoCal harmonies and Beatles/Byrds/Beach Boys/Big Star godhead into a sound all its own - beguiling, frequently bittersweet, but always life-affirming; a canny merger of art and commerce. Theirs was a rags-to-riches story, from the band's beginnings in L.A.'s Paisley Underground scene through their reign as the smart-pop princesses of the 1980s - a problematic decade that was far richer for the Bangles' presence in its unfolding.

The band’s fifth single from The Sound Of Madness “The Crow & The Butterfly” is at radio now.
