- As a founding member of the iconic all-girl band The Bangles, Susanna Hoffs is perhaps most associated with '80s hits like “Manic Monday,” “Eternal Flame,” and “Walk Like An Egyptian.” After releasing three platinum-selling albums, in 1989 The Bangles broke up. Two years later, Susanna started to release solo material before reuniting with The Bangles at the end of the 90s.
Over the years Susanna has continued to release music and act in movies. She even appeared in all three Austin Powers films as part of a fictional Mod band.
This year Susanna has added another creative pursuit to her repertoire-she’s now a published novelist. Her first book, This Bird Has Flown, was released in April. And she put out her latest collection of cover songs on the album The Deep End produced by the great Peter Asher.
On today’s episode Justin Richmond talks to Susanna Hoffs about how Bruce Springsteen helped The Bangles secure a record deal after seeing them play at an amusement park in Southern California. She also tells the story of first listening to Prince’s demo of “Manic Monday.”

ABOUT BROKEN RECORD
For generations of music lovers, the liner notes on albums were a central part of the way music was heard. You bought an album and it came with an accompanying narrative: a digression, an aside, a backstory-maybe even an invented history. We intuitively understood that great music required not just listening but conversation between the artist and the audience and the audience and the rest of the world.
Broken Record is a podcast that restarts those conversations-in a world without liner notes-for a new audience of music lovers.
Broken Record is hosted by Justin Richmond with interviews by producer Rick Rubin, writer Malcolm Gladwell, and former New York Times editor Bruce Headlam.

I’m 61. My friends and I loved “All Over the Place”. There’s something about that first one. I saw both shows that night at Magic Mountain. It was great, we made eye contact, haha! Around that time we saw Chuck Berry there as well, two shows again. Anyway, that was an entertaining interview, you did your homework!
I was at that show!
It's great to learn she's still in the mix musically and sounds happy in life. Hope the other band members are equally content and optimistic. Plus, she's a year older than I am and I appreciate the assurance that 64 will be awesome!
One of my favorite singers of all time , thank you Susannah…I have to say I got into the Bangles in 1984 and I never got off the bandwagon! ALL OVER THE PLACE is still my favorite BANGLES album…to my mind it is the best version of the songwriting of the band itself as I saw them live a couple times then…she still sings like an Angel. Very unique timbre on her voice always knocks me out.❤️
Oh my God, I've heard many of Susanna's interviews and this one doesn't disappoint, Susanna's is so beautiful ,sweet and humble as well as articulate and intelligent, her speaking voice is just as beautiful as her singing voice, I absolutely love Susanna ❤️ ❤
That was a really good interview. I enjoyed the deep dive. Smart, stylish, talented, humble & honest. Susanna is special.
Oh my God your voice is
Better than a sight for sore eyes ❤
Her voice sounds more like 44, very pleasant to listen to.
She has always been so sweet .
Hi Susanna 👋
I had a crush on you 😍
I was about 8 😅
Thanks for sharing your music with us all 😎🎶✌️🙏🥳😘
great interview.
Whoa...I saw the Bangles at Magic Mountain around that time? I wonder if they played there more than once? MM had a cool (very small) amphitheater where bands would play. I saw Oingo Boingo and other LA bands there.
Oh my God I love Susanna's cute little giggle, so sweet and adorable, I would so love to hear Susanna perform live 💖 🇳🇿❤️
