The Bangles Sunday, 8pm Enmore Theatre, 9550 3666 $76 ... Yet American pop-rock wonders the Bangles did one better by reaching into the annals of history and asking us to Walk Like An Egyptian ... It was one of the most enduring hits of the Bangles, who formed as the Bangs in 1981 and had a stream of hummable, radio-friendly tunes including Manic Monday and Hazy Shade Of Winter, only to combust soon after their No.1 international hit Eternal Flame (from 1988's Everything).

Simple Plan, The Puppini Sisters have new CDs Feb 16, 2008
As on their 2006 debut, Betcha Bottom Dollar (which featured a killer version of Kate Bushs Wuthering Heights), the Puppinis mix period material with radically reworked takes on more recent pop fare, including the Bangles Walk Like an Egyptian and Beyonces Crazy in Love. The latters good fun, but the albums highlight might be Old Cape Cod, the dreamy Patti Page hit that Groove Armada memorably sampled in At the River. (MSNBC -- Music)
k.d. lang keeps it real with subtlety Feb 4, 2008
Their new "The Rise of Ruby Woo" spreads out its wide net with the opening track, a slinky cover of the Classics IV hit "Spooky," and then latches it down with a subsequent jaunt through The Bangles' "Walk Like an Egyptian." And if you haven't escaped by then, you won't. Oh sure, it's hokey, a little too fast-moving and contrived when they punch through an almost impossibly sped-up (yet irresistible) take on Beyonce's "Crazy in Love," and the Puppini Sisters' epic version of the Ellington/Mills...

I spoke strictly Spanish until I was seven and listened to Merengue, Bachata, salsa and boleros growing up (with some Bon Jovi and the Bangles creeping from the crack beneath my older sister's bedroom door). The first sounds outside of that was R&B, this beat-driven, sexual music. (Billboard.com)

Music for the masses Sep 24, 2007

The bands early rock roots quickly gave way to a slicker, more pop-oriented sheen and it was that phase that saw the quartet as a force to be reckoned with during the... (The Star Online, Malaysia)

McCartney's 'Memory' proves just a bit spotty Jun 5, 2007
For his 21st solo album McCartney gave the boot to Nigel Godrich -- the longtime Radiohead producer who coaxed such remarkable depth from the artist on 2005's "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" -- and reunited with David Kahne , who produced Macca's 2001 disc, "Driving Rain" (as well as recordings by a slew of other artists from the Bangles to the Strokes).
