The Go-Go's, an American rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 1978.  Except for short periods when other musicians briefly joined, the band has had a relatively stable line up consisting of Charlotte Caffey on lead guitar and keyboards, Belinda Carlisle on lead vocals, Gina Schock on drums, Kathy Valentine on bass guitar, and Jane Wiedlin on rhythm guitar. They are widely considered to be the most successful all-female rock band of all time.  The band broke up in 1985, but have since played together for various events over the intervening years.  In 2021 the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
