Going To A Go Go (s) Part Deux

Tonight the Go Go's are playing at the Greek Theatre in LA. This was where they played one of their first big shows back in 1981 and this is the celebration of the 30th anniversary of their debut album BEAUTY & THE BEAT and it happens to be Belinda's birthday; oh and I happen to be going to the show!

I've never been able to see the Go Go's before so I'm totally stoked. I bought tickets for their Farewell Tour last year but it was cancelled when Jane got hurt so this year I'm even more excited. Plus we got extra special tickets which come with the 30th anniversary remastered Beauty & The Beat CD plus the album on pink vinyl and a T shirt! But most importantly I get to hear them play as a band.

When I was a little MTV used to play videos and they did this thing called "World Premiere Video" when a big artist came out with a new video and I remember waiting all day long for the Go Go's world premiere video for Vacation. Let me share it with you now:


and for extra bonus here's an ultimately rare thing - a TV commercial for the Vacation album:


and stay tuned for my review tomorrow - or Going To A Go Go (s) Part 3

Vacation... all I ever wanted

Well I'm off for awhile kiddies... tonight we are heading to the Leivas' and spending the night before being shipped off to the Mexican Riviera, where I will swim with dolphins, go kayaking on a glass bottom kayak, do a little murder mystery dinner and spend lots and lots of time drinking margarittas by the pool (complete with a slide)... so I'll talk to all of you in a week...

til then head over to Swivek's website and download my music, or re-read all 13 brilliant episodes of Carlton Heights cuz when I get back I may just have some ideas for season 2!
