Drummer Gina Schock has been taking photos of her life with girl group The Go-Go’s since 1978. She’s documented it all, the highs and the lows. The band was the most popular all-female group to emerge from the punk/new wave explosion of the late 70’s early 80’s and they became one of the first commercially successful girl groups who weren’t controlled by male producers or managers. They had a ball living the wild life of rockers, swallowing pills, taking cocaine, trashing hotel rooms and generally just being bad. Gina’s book looks back at all of those days. She was a hoot then and she’s a hoot now as you’ll discover if you check my zoom interview with her below.
