The Bangles broke up at the end of the decade, after also having hits with “Eternal Flame” and “Walk Like an Egyptian,” but re-formed in 2000. In 2003, they released the album “Doll Revolution.” They’ve just started on a new CD. These days, there are only three members; bassist Michael Steele left the group in 2005. Hoffs, now 50 but looking nowhere near it, celebrates the release of a side project next month: a collection of ’70s covers with musician Matthew Sweet called “Under The Covers Vol. 2.” The Bangles talked to CNN about fine wine, being horrified by the decade that made them and stumbling across embarrassing photos on the Web.
