The Linda Lindas are fun so it makes total sense that they should cover one of the funnest girl groups of the 80s, The Go-Go’s. Before dropping their debut album, Growing Up, earlier this year, the girls aged 11-17 were a covers band and as they explain, they were never far from a Go-Gos anthem…

Of the cover the band says: “The Linda Lindas started out as a cover band, and we’ve played more songs by The Go-Go’s than anyone else. And even after we started to write our own songs, we never stopped playing ‘Tonite.’ We love the idea of us going out and owning our town, and ‘Tonite’ is as fun to play as it is empowering––especially the part where we all sing together. ‘We rule the streets tonite until the morning light’ and so should our fans. Because the cover is such a hit at shows, we decided to record a studio version to pay tribute to the greatest all-female rock band of all time, a crucial part of the L.A. punk scene, and our heroes.”

The Linda Lindas are currently on a US tour supporting the Yeah Yeah Yeahs along with Japanese Breakfast. Check out the track below….while we book ourselves some tickets for that tour!
