The Go-Go’s will release their first new recording in nearly 20 years, Club Zero, on July 31st.
Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey, Kathy Valentine, and Gina Schock have reunited for the track, which will accompany their upcoming documentary. It’s their first original release since 2001’s God Bless the Go-Go’s.
The Go-Go’s, directed by Alison Ellwood, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this past January to standing ovations and critical acclaim.
It details the group’s place in music history, from their roots in LA’s late ‘70s punk scene, to their rise to become of the most popular acts of the decade.
It also examines the personalities and dynamics behind their rise, fall, and numerous reincarnations.
“We lived it and we survived it,” the band said in a statement.
“Now, looking back on our history through this film, we get to relive our journey as a band: the fun, the adventure, the highs and the lows.
“We hope this documentary will show the world that we were pioneers, and how our experience paved the way for many other female (and some male!) musicians.”
The documentary premieres August 1st at 9 pm ET/PT on Showtime. Check out the trailer below – which features a live snippet of Club Zero.
