Review of Plugs and GoGo show at the Hong Kong Cafe
Excerpt from the article
The real news of the evening was opening act the GoGos. When the GoGos debuted six months ago alll it had going for it was its all girl novelty status and lots of enthusiasm. It's since grown up into a fine rock band. Friday's show introduced a better repertoire of material, a new drummer (Gina Schock - a fiesty addition), and revealed the group to be steadily gaining control of its instruments. Guitar leads are still a bit ragged but no matter - if it's managed to come this far in six months its future looks more than good.

...the GoGo's too have made remarkable strides, transforming itself fro an all-girl novelty into one of L.A.'s most entertaining party bands.
