The Bangles at Velvet Sessions
I’m not ashamed to admit The Bangles are one of my all-time favorite bands. Mostly because I had a major crush on lead singer Susanna Hoffs while growing up, but also because I thought “these chicks rock”! So needless to say I was super-stoked when I got a special invite via my e-mail to come see them play at Hard Rock Hotel’s “Velvet Sessions” in a few weeks.
Never experienced Hard Rock Hotel’s “Velvet Sessions”? It’s a great opportunity to see some of your favorite bands up-close-and-personal, and it’s typically extremely affordable. (This particular concert is a little pricier than most because some of the proceeds are being donated to breast cancer research.)
A few tips if you’ve never been to the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal:
- You’ll have to pay for parking
- You might want to arrive early to avoid crowds
- Consider giving yourself some time to look at some of the memorabilia in the hotel
Here are a couple of my favorite songs performed by The Bangles:

LUCKY!!!!!! I saw the Go-Gos there a few years ago and had so much fun! Have fun!!!!
@Jennifer Oohhh, I would’ve loved to have seen the Go-Gos. I’ve always had a huge crush on Belinda Carlisle.
I’ve actually seen several good bands at the Velvet Sessions, but am really looking forward to this upcoming show!
Belinda rocked the show I went to and I think I got some great pics too
@Jennifer I bet she did! How did she look? I would love to see the photos.
I just found and uploaded the pics for ya

@Jennifer Love them! Now I’m so wishing I’d been there.
Thanks for sharing.
@Jennifer As you can probably see from the post-show post, my pictures are nowhere as nearly good as yours from the Go-Gos.
