It’s officially been 30 years since the release of Beauty and the Beat, a double platinum, beloved Go-Go’s debut that introduced the world songs like “Our Lips Are Sealed” and “We Got the Beat.” Get ready for a slew of Go-Go’s awesomeness in celebration, including a Ladies Gone Wild national U.S. tour!
There will be things like special VIP packages for fans to meet the band and purchase limited edition merchandise, May 17 will see the release of a Beauty and Beat deluxe edition that includes a cd with unreleased music from a 1981 show; and then, in August, the Go-Go gals will receive a Hollywood Walk of Fame star!
Maybe it’s just cause “We Got the Beat” is one of my top 5 karaoke songs ever, but I’m kind of really excited about this. Considering last summer, they were planning a farewell tour, it makes me happy to know they’ve come to their senses.
