VICKI PETERSON
Vicki Peterson (born January 11, 1958, in Northridge, Los Angeles, California) is an American rock musician (lead guitar, vocals) and songwriter. In 1981, she founded The Bangs, later renamed The Bangles, with her sister Debbi Peterson, and Susanna Hoffs. After The Bangles disbanded in 1989, Peterson played with the Continental Drifters and The Psycho Sisters, in both cases alongside Susan Cowsill. Additionally, she replaced a pregnant Charlotte Caffey on the 1994–95 Go-Go’s reunion tour. (More from Wikipedia)
The Bangles was one of the longest lasting all-female rock bands. Sisters Vicki Peterson (guitar/vocals) and Debbi Peterson (drums/vocals) formed a band in Los Angeles with Susanna Hoffs (vocals/guitar) in December 1980 that was first called the Colours, then the Supersonic Bangs and finally the Bangs. Annette Zilinskas was the band’s first bass guitarist.
