The Go Gos - 1982-06-19 - Tokyo Japan (SBD Matrix)

What better way to follow our Bangles post from yesterday than with a Go-Gos post today! In June 1981, The Go Go's released the single, We Got The Beat, and the accompanying video became a mainstay om the then fledgling MTV channel. A month later, the band released the album Beauty and The Beat, which steadily climbed the charts until it reached the top spot, where it remained for 6 weeks. The Go Go's had taken the music world by storm, and made history in the process. Beauty and The Beat became the first album entirely written and performed by an all-female band to top the charts.Today the disc is recognized as one of the cornerstones of the new wave movement. This soundboard broadcast captures them during those heady days n Tokyo on June 19, 1982, 3 dozen years ago today!
