Her lips are unsealed: Kathy Valentine on life in all-female band, The Go-Go's  

The Go-Go's were one of the most successful female rock bands of all time, a feat recognised with a recent induction into the Hall Of Fame

Kathy Valentine of the Go-Go's: "there would not be less of us if more of us were visible"

The Go-Go's entry into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was a long time coming. Forty-three years after the all-female group were formed in California, that prestigious induction in October last year came as part of a new chapter that had begun with a reunion in 2019, and has led to new music and recent tours.

Many people would have first heard The Go-Go’s via the 1981 release of their debut long-player, Beauty and the Beat. A cornerstone of the post-punk era in the US, the album featured hits such as We Got The Beat and Our Lips Are Sealed, and shifted more than two million copies while spending six weeks at the top of the American Billboard album charts.
