Go-Go's - Head Over Heels

  • 17 years ago
The 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 that wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to top the Billboard charts with a number-one album.

Stylistically, their energetic music spanned pop-punk, surf, new wave, and rock.

They rose to fame in the early-1980s and their unlikely break-thru success ushered in an era of new music in the U.S. Their 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 U.S. Top 40 hits.
