You no doubt know their hit songs: "Our Lips Are Sealed," "We Got the Beat," "Vacation," "Head over Heels" and "Turn to You," among many others. But do you know the real story behind The Go-Go's? A music documentary chronicling the meteoric rise of the all-girl band is airing on TV tonight.
Directed by Alison Ellwood, the hour-and-a-half-long documentary will chronicle the quintet of lead vocalist Belinda Carlisle, lead guitarist Charlotte Caffey, drummer Gina Schock, bassist Kathy Valentine and rhythm guitarist Jane Wiedlin through the band's beginnings in the L.A. punk rock scene of the late 1970s, to their MTV music-video stardom of the '80s, to the ups and downs the group experienced from the 1990s to today.
