Page "The Bangles" Paragraph 14

The band started drifting back together in 1998. and officially re-formed to record a song for the soundtrack of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, at the behest of the film's director ( and Hoffs ' husband ) Jay Roach.

The song chosen for the album was " Get The Girl " and was released in 1999.

The reunion continued with a tour in 2000.

Later the same year, the group was also inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.

From 2001 – 2002, they were in the studio recording the album Doll Revolution.

The album, featuring such songs as " Stealing Rosemary ", " Ride the Ride ", " Nickel Romeo ", and the single " Something That You Said ", was released in early 2003.

The title track, which was written by Elvis Costello, was originally recorded for his 2002 album When I Was Cruel.

Doll Revolution was a solid comeback success in Germany after the Bangles had performed in Germany's biggest television show Wetten dass, but failed to make any impact in other important markets such as the UK, the U. S. and Australia.

In July 2004, the Bangles were made Companions of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.
