The Go-Go\u2019s<\/a>,<\/em> a new documentary<\/a> about the all-female New Wave band, will air on Showtime<\/a> on August 1st at 9 pm E.T.<\/p>\n

The documentary chronicles the Los Angeles band\u2019s rise to fame in 1981 with the release of their debut Beauty and the Beat<\/em> and examines their career, history and various incarnations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe lived it and we survived it,\u201d the band said in a statement. \u201cNow, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film was directed by Allison Ellwood, known for her critically acclaimed 2013 Eagles documentary; she also worked on the Laurel Canyon<\/em> docuseries<\/a> premiering later this month. \u201cWhile their musical hooks are perfect for a summer release, if you listen to their lyrics, you discover a grittiness and sophistication that serves as subterfuge beneath a seemingly effervescent surface,\u201d Ellwood said. \u201cThe summer of 2020 will certainly be different for most of us. It\u2019s fantastic that the Showtime audience will get a chance to see our film and experience the Go-Go\u2019s in a new and meaningful way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Go-Go\u2019s doc premiered at Sundance<\/a> in January and was slated to show at this year\u2019s Tribeca Film Festival<\/a> before the event was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the year, the band announced a brief summer tour in support of the documentary. They\u2019re scheduled to kick off on June 25th in San Diego, California, and conclude in Costa Mesa, California, on July 13th. As of right now, tickets are still on sale on their website.<\/a><\/p>\n
