“It’s all right here... The past, present, and future of our music. Insightful and authoritative, Stephenson & Lornell did their homework & the result is the only true written record of the sound, scene, and culture we created and continue to embrace”

“There would be no Go Go if not for the showmobile, summer in the parks, and the good times all over Southeast, Washington. I remember when the battle of the bands was big fun. The competition was great and made me a better musician. You must read this book to fully understand why Go-Go is so popular in DC. The pocket, The Beat, and now the new Go-Go Beat, the Bounce Beat - Go-Go is DC!”
- Gregory “Sugar Bear” Elliot
“Successfully dive[s] into the core of a music genre that has been pulsing in the nation’s capital for the better part of 25 years.”
