SteveMc 2,674 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 The Bangles - If She Knew What She Wants (1986) #80s pic.twitter.com/l5pLmkCu33 — Audio Engineer (@Pinochet_Sonido) April 27, 2019 The bass is really prominent in this video of the song, even if overall quality is poorish. You can really get a sense of the richness of Steele's tone and her little rhythmic quirks. Ii2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc 2,674 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 They did a little (mostly acoustic?) concert a couple of nights ago at the Grammy Museum in L.A., but without drummer Debbi Peterson. She lives out of state, so maybe she found herself unable to make either event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc 2,674 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The recording is rough on this Velvet Underground cover, but Susanna's voice here is rather stunning, very natural. This is before she changed it for the more piercing 80s radio friendly approach she is known for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc 2,674 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Wishing a Happy Birthday to Michael Steele! Here is a playlist with some highlights of her time with The Bangles. The first eight tracks are all her lead vocal tracks with the band. All, with the exception of "September Gurls," were written by her. Walk Like An Egyptian features her singing a verse, and "Let It Go" features her as a co-writer. The rest of the tracks highlight some of her best basswork with the band, and some of her best backing vocal efforts, with most tracks featuring both, really.

SteveMc 2,674 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 From their great filmed '86 concert in Pittsburgh. They are all on pretty good form here, especially Steele who navigates a pretty intricate bass line rather seamlessly with her lead vocal, while having a nice little dynamic with Susanna during the instrumental bridge and at the end. Really needs to be remastered and re-released. Ii2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
