The Go-Go's line up late-spring tour dates
The Go-Go's will re-team for another round of tour dates that kick off in late May.
So far, the quintet has booked four late-May and four early June shows, most of which are set in California. Details are shown in the itinerary below.
The Go-Go's most recent release is last year's "The Go-Go's Live in Central Park," a DVD that the group shot during its tour in support of "God Bless the Go-Go's." Released in 2001, the album was the band's first collection of all new material in 17 years.
Despite spawning the hit single "Unforgiven"--co-written by Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong--the album didn't earn the group a dime, according to a message posted at guitarist Kathy Valentine's website.
"We have never been paid," she wrote in response to a fan who asked if the album turned a profit. "The company [Beyond Records] went bankrupt."
Valentine went on to say that the band "has no plans or intentions to record" any new material at this time.
The Go-Go's rose to fame in the early '80s thanks to hits such as "Our Lips Are Sealed" and "We Got the Beat," from their 1981 debut, "Beauty and the Beat"; and the title track from their 1982 follow-up, "Vacation." The members broke up in 1985, but reunited for several concert tours in the years leading up to "God Bless the Go-Go's."
