The Go-Go's (2020)
10/10
We Got the Beat
4 August 2020
Fun, zany, colorful, glitzy, girly and of course rocking like the girls themselves, "The Go-Go's" is Rock n' Roll itself told from the female perspective. The first all-girl band to play their instruments and write their own songs to hit the top of the charts the band are prime for a tribute and a telling of their legacy and they do it compellingly. Chronicling their origins from troubled teens to honing their musical chops in the L.A. Punk scene to superstardom the cool ladies relate their story belying their senior years retaining the verve and energy of their youth. The tales of success, drugs, sex, infighting and of course great music bring your great Rock n' Roll tale with a cute and feminine touch. Priceless footage and images of the band throughout their career and the topnotch music make this a feast for the senses. Interviews from their peers and associates highlight the impact the girls had on the music scene at the time. Just like the gals and their music this doc is a well-paced no filler all killer tribute to arguably the greatest female Rock band and a visual and musical document on a great time and the individuals who made it so.
