[spoiler]Their first Hollywood gig was at the Troubadour where they were setting attendance records playing the midnight slot on Sunday nights. They also played at The Whiskey, and The Roxy. Hollywood loved Angeles. They became one of L.A.’s largest Indie bands of the 80’s. They performed at Devonshire Downs outdoor stadium to over 6,000 people. In 1984, Angeles performed at the Reseda Country Club, appearing with Bon Jovi. They have also shared a stage with Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Ratt, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, and Ronnie James Dio.Signed to Mystic records, Angeles recorded their debut album “We’re No Angels”. They were featured in the Sep. 1985 issue of Hit Parader magazine. The band signed with Azra Records in 1986 and recorded their second album “Give It Up”. Angeles went on to record four more albums, which have sold worldwide. After they signed with ACE Records, they went on to record three more albums including “Delivering the Goods”, “No Limits”, and “Angeles Miracles”.

A number of Angeles’ songs, including “Nasty Girls”, “You Want Me To Love You”, and “Can’t Find the Words” have been played on nationwide radio stations. In 1999, their album “No Limits” was featured on 95.5 KLOS Local Licks Sunday night program. Angeles was honored to not only be featured on the program four times, but they were also the only band to ever have six songs played on a Double Local Licks feature in a single program. During one week in 1999, “Can’t Find the Words” was played 527 times. The song continued to play nationwide on radio stations for three months.

After 36 years, the band still continues to write music, and looks forward to their annual Make-A-Wish Foundation benefit show.

Angeles continues to play with heart and refuses to give up their love of music. The last two years they have played with Jefferson Starship, Robbie Krieger of the Doors, Jack Russell's "Great White", The Tubes, and Foghat, just to name a few of the legends of Rock N Roll.

Angeles Band released their No Limits CD in 2013, and Seriously Fun in 2014.

The newest change has been that of Daphne Winters becoming our lead vocalist, after the tragic loss of Fallon, who died while doing one of the things she loved. Riding her motorcycle. She is terribly missed, and one of our heavily-played songs "Monster Mash" (an annual Halloween favorite) was with her at the helm.

Daphne, a singer-songwriter and plays the guitar, has brought a new sound to Angeles Band, with her own style of a bluesy rhythm, coupled with strong, hard-hitting vocals that will nail you to a wall.
