Singer, songwriter and guitarist Victoria Anne Theresa Peterson was
born on January 11, 1958 in Northridge, Los Angeles, California. She
attended the University of California as an English major. In 1981,
Victoria co-founded the hugely popular and successful all-female rock
band,
The Bangles, along with
Susanna Hoffs, her younger sister
Debbi Peterson, and original bassist
Annette Zilinskas. After
The Bangles broke up in 1989, Peterson
formed the duo "The Psycho Sisters" with fellow
singer/songwriter/musician
Susan Cowsill.
"The Psycho Sisters" were a well-received attraction at various Los
Angeles clubs in the early 90s but, alas, only recorded a single 45.
Moreover, "The Psycho Sisters" are featured as backing singers on the
albums "Fluorescent" by
Steve Wynn and "Center of the
Universe" by "Giant Sand". Victoria and Cowsill subsequently became
members of the Los Angeles rock band, "The Continental Drifters" in
1992. In addition, Peterson has sung harmony vocals on recordings for
such artists as
John Doe,
Belinda Carlisle, and the
Hoodoo Gurus. Victoria served as a
substitute for a pregnant
Charlotte Caffey as the guitarist for
The Go-Go's during their 1994-1995 reunion
tour. In 1999, Peterson rejoined
The Bangles. Victoria Peterson has been
married to husband
Jon Cowsill since 2003.
