Description
Title supplied by cataloger.; Photograph included in the Exhibit: From Pop to the Pit, The LAPL Photo Collection Celebrates the L.A. Music Scene, 1978-1989.
The Go-Go's' bright, catchy pop tunes were a hit with both new wave and mainstream audiences. They are the first all-female rock band to write their own songs and play their own instruments in the studio. Their first release "Beauty and the Beat" was one of the most successful debut albums of all time.
First photograph caption dated July 24, 1981 reads, "The Go Go's got their start at the legendary Masque Club. From left: Gina, Belinda, Jane, Kathy and Charlotte."; Second photograph caption dated September 17, 1982 reads, "1982's success story, the Go Go's, made it to No. 1 with their debut album."
