Go-Go’s are an all-female American rock and roll group formed in 1978. They made rock history as the first all-woman band in pop music that played their own instruments and wrote their own songs to top the Billboard charts with a #1 album. Stylistically, their energetic music spanned punk-pop, surf, new wave, and rock.
They rose to fame in the early-1980s and their unlikely success ushered in an era of new bands and new music in the U.S. Their trend-setting debut album “Beauty and the Beat” is considered one of the cornerstone albums of American new wave. In the beginning they played primarily pop punk and later defined themselves with the distinct sound of 1980s rock. The Go-Go’s had five Top 40 hits.
In the 1960s, there was a group from Newcastle in the U.K. known as The Go-Go’s.
The group is known for their 1964 novelty Christmas single, “I’m Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek”.

when it comes to great songs and tight harmonies, these girls and the Bangles who followed them kicked most male groups backsides ! (shame they both broke up for the same reasons, a lead singer who wrongly thought she was bigger than the group.)

1982 was band's zenith, with two Top 10 US singles and album "Beauty and the Beast" topping the American chart. Follow-up Vacation enjoyed similar success, although global recognition remained a challenge. www.eightiesmusicfan.co.cc.
