October 11, 2011 – (Left) Susanna Hoffs performs with The Bangles Monday night at Marina City’s House of Blues. The group has a new album – Sweetheart of the Sun – for the first time in eight years and is currently on tour. They play Minneapolis tonight, then Dallas, and then six dates on the west coast.

Hoffs joined the group in 1980. The Bangles were the first all-girl band to have five Top 10 hits. (Photo by Adam Powers. Click on image to view larger version.)
