About I AM GO-GO™

THE WORLD
AROUND GO-GO.

I AM GO-GO™ is a connected website for exploring Washington, D.C.’s Go-Go music and the culture surrounding it.

What it is

Music, history, culture, people and legacy—connected.

The site brings together recordings, artists, posters, venues, physical audio, history, photography, visual culture, sampling and reuse research, community stories and artist-facing catalog work.

What it does

Discover. Document. Connect. Trace. Preserve.

Each section is designed to lead into another instead of leaving information isolated on separate pages.

Living & breathing

This is not a finished history book.

I AM GO-GO™ is a living, growing website. New music, photographs, flyers, recordings, stories, research and historical evidence can expand or correct the public record.

Go-Go is still moving. So is this website.
