The Go-Go’s In Danbury, Sun., Part Of National Tour

DANBURY — The Go-Go’s will perform at the 2001 Audi Summer Concert Series this Sunday, July 8, at 7 pm.  The band is best known for such classics as “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “We Got The Beat,” “Vacation,” and “Head Over Heals.” The Go-Go’s are promoting their new album, God Bless The Go-Go’s, with a three-month nationwide tour. This is their first studio album in 17 years.

The Go-Go’s’ earlier album, 1981’s Beauty And The Beat, allowed the band to attain notable commercial success, staying at number one for six weeks and selling over two million copies. The band’s new album reflects the group’s punk/pop style and vivacious energy that made Belinda Carlisle and the Go-Go’s famous in the 1970s and ‘80s.

For the Go-Go’s, “fun” has always been the operative word. Sunday’s concert promises to be a delightful evening for all filled with their legacy of classic songs as well as new material.

The Go-Go’s concert is sponsored by AvalonBay Communities. The concert begins at 7 pm, with doors opening at 5.
