Биография

Go Betty Go emphatically have established themselves as one of punk rock’s most exciting forces. A gloriously rough & tumble sound with melodic aggression. Formed in 2000 when they were all attending high school in California, Go Betty Go driven by Betty Cisneros’ big, roaring guitar, singer Nicolette Vilar’s soulful, siren call & the momentous urgency of Michelle Rangel’s bass & Aixa Vilar’s tumultuous drumming. The Latina Punk Quartet swiftly ascended from local shows to a standing room only weeknight residency at Los Angeles dive Mr. T Bowl’s to a national reputation via reams of critical acclaim & non-stop gigging. Go Betty Go surged through two lengthy Warped tours, frequent cross-country tours, an attention getting invasion of South by Southwest & seemingly had it made. With the release of 2005’s Nothing is More, their first full length, they set out on tour. They never finished it—Nicolette, exhausted, unhappy & burned out, suddenly quit. She walked away & the bands remaining members found themselves at a crossroad. The remaining members drafted a new singer & continued gigging but the creative momentum was gone. Miraculously, after a friend suggested a one off 2012 gig & all original members found themselves reunited on stage. That renewal & excitement crackles through their last release “Reboot”, like a high voltage jolt of electricity, & Go Betty go are poised to reclaim their rightful prominence as some of the brightest, boldest women in punk rock.
