Go Betty Go Release “Black & Blue” EP

It’s been twenty-four years since LA’s Go Betty Go hit the music scene with their unique brand of spicy pop punk, and nine years since their last EP release. The band have now delivered the six track Black & Blue EP that is available via streaming platforms and on vinyl via Wiretap Records. On September 19th Go Betty Go will take over The Paramount for their Black & Blue release show, with The Two Tens guitarist Adam Bones filling in for Betty Cisneros as she continues to put all her energy into her cancer fight. Proceeds from the show will go toward Betty’s medical expenses and recovery. The all-ages show will include special guest Emily Valentine and feature sets from Los Abandoned, The Reflectors and Storm House. Tickets can be purchased here.

“Black & Blue is an EP that has been a long time in the making. We started working on these songs as soon as the pandemic broke out but had to pause like everyone else in the world at that time. As soon as it was clear we could get back together and work in the studio, we received Betty’s Stage 4 cancer diagnosis in May 2022, which hit us all hard. But we decided to keep moving forward, stand strong, and do everything in our power to help Betty fight. Black & Blue even sparked old ideas that we finally brought to light. Two of the songs, ‘City Lights’ and ‘Am I To Blame,’ were written years ago when Emily Wynne-Hughes, aka Emily Valentine, was in the band. We have a two-decade-long history, but there was a time when I quit the band, and Emily stepped in to take the reins. I’ve been back for many years, but this EP brought the band’s history full circle as we invited Emily back to rework some of those original songs that had never been released.” (vocalist Nicolette Vilar)
