are back. They never really left. Since the trio parted ways in the 80’s, two members, Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward, have carried on the band’s legacy, with six additional records, including their latest,, out this Friday One of the biggest girl groups of the 80’s, Bananarama’s carefree style, shaggy hair, and punk stylings earned them a cult following. “Your look was, who joined the ladies on Zoom last month. “It was what everyone was trying to look like.
DALLIN: Well, it was mainly in the clubs. Keren and I knew each other as kids, but we lived in the YWCA , opposite the British museum and then we moved to where the Pistols used to be, Malcolm McLaren’s office and below his rehearsal room and me and Keren knew Paul really well. And he said, “Oh, you can crash there.” You know, you’ve lived in squats.DALLIN: So it was a horrible squat. It had John Lydon’s drawings ’round the wall of Sid and Nancy.
DALLIN: Yeah. In those days all the clothes came from Portobello Market, Camden, or charity shops. We put it all together ourselves, we didn’t have money for designer stuff. And we all wrote our own music which is why we had that individual style. DALLIN: You were so excited and creative, and it was one massive party. You would go all around the world, we’d bump into you guys, or Duran Duran or whoever and we were writing songs, having fun, styling ourselves. Everything came from us, it was just completely organic. It’s gone on forever.
DALLIN: And then they stopped the music one night, and we’re like, “What’s going on?” They said, “Oh, Cher’s coming on to do a few numbers, can you get off the stage?!”BOY GEORGE: That was when I first started DJ’ing.
