These touring '80s ladies pioneered the female band scenewith legendary hits written by artists like Prince, Jules Shear, Liam Sternberg,and Simon & Garfunkel, as well as a large number of their own penned songs.

Their early music – which was greatly rock-influenced, as all themembers originally bonded over a love for The Beatles – lent itself to somethinga bit more, well, rock-y.
