Not many bands can say that their classic 1980s hits are still played on the radio. Nor has any other all-female band since The Go-Go's topped the long-held crown of having a debut album go to number one when they wrote their own songs and played all of the music. From the opening scene of a rabid crowd begging for more at a 1981 concert, to its 2020 reunion of band members in the studio recording "Club Zero" (their first single in 19 years), "The Go-Go's" is a love letter about five women who ruled the charts, and the world, and are still around to talk about it. The legacy and talent of these five uber-talented ladies is really what "The-Go-Go's" documentary boils down to. Charlotte Caffey, Belinda Carlisle, Gina Schock, Kathy Valentine, and Jane Wiedlin weren't thrown together haphazardly by a record company Svengali. They worked their asses off to gain a number one debut album with "Beauty and the Beat," and followed it up with other hit albums and singles. "The Go-Go's" isn't the sort of gossipy documentary seen on VH-1's "Behind the Music." Directed by Alison Elwood — who earned rave reviews for her documentary about The Eagles — "The Go-Go's" breaks the band down to its core. ⁠ Tap link in bio to read more of EDGE's review on @EDGEmedianetwork ??⁠ ⁠ ?: The Go-Go's / Instagram⁠ ⁠ "The Go-Go's" is available for streaming now, and on DVD/Blu-ray starting on February 26th.
