Bananarama

The album was ”recorded at home using primitive electronic instruments in addition to heavily effected electric guitar, bass & voice” and it finds her doing drastically reworked covers of pop songs from her youth, intended as a ”mixtape” for her late brother Brian.

Plus: The House of Love, The Bush Tetras, Big Country, Pronoun, DMX, Cam'ron, Quasi, Garcia Peoples, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, and more tour-related news.

Cyndi Lauper, Drab Majesty, SOPHIE, The Blue Nile, Boy Harsher, The Cure, Jehnny Beth and Johnny Hostile, Roy Orbison, Heart, Prince, Janet Jackson, Com Truise, Bananarama, and more all feature on Bat for Lashes' new mix.

Bananarama's original lineup -- Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward -- just wrapped up their first ever tour of North America with a sold-out show NYC's PlayStation Theater on Saturday (2/24). Clearly having a great time, Bananarama pulled out most of their best-known singles...

Bananarama in their original lineup of Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward produced some of the more buoyant pop of the early '80s, including great singles like "He Was Really Saying Something," "Shy Boy," "Cruel Summer," and "Robert DeNiro's Waiting"...
