Go-Go M.U.S.I.C. is a spin off from our original DC M.U.S.I.C. www.wearedcmusic.com . We felt that Go-Go Music needed rebranding. With all the attention and closures of venues, we felt that something had to be done to save our culture. Our love for the music pushed us to grab the steering wheel of www.wearegogomusic.com .
