Any Given Tuesday Episode 11: The GO

THE GO: Howl On the Haunted Beat You Ride

Detroit's The GO recently released Howl On The Haunted Beat You Ride (read Any Given Tuesday's review here), the best classic rock album of 2007. With masterful production and an ear for a rock and roll sound that changed the future of music, The Go have moved beyond their early days with Jack White from The White Stripes and the garage sound of Detroit and reinterpreted the '60s rock sound to make an album that should have been released forty years ago. Better late than never!

Remember that you can subscribe to the podcast in iTunes and call in to leave a message for the show at (443) 955-5382.

Gore Gore Girls Are Go-Go Goodness

Gore Gore Girls

The Gore Gore Girls are from Detroit, and like recent Any Given Tuesday reviewees The Go (read a review of Howl On The Haunted Beat You Ride) GGG are hell on wheels, garage rock at its finest. Like Nancy Sinatra all hopped up on greasy food and hard liquor, the Gore Gore Girls take '60s soul, plug it into Gretsch guitars, and the beat hammers on and on. This is Babes In Toyland in the Valley of the Dolls.

Get over to Gore Gore Girl's MySpace and listen to "All Grown Up". It's hip-shaking sham-a-lam-a-go-go and you're going to regret not knowing this band before today.

The Go To Release Howl on the Haunted Beat You Ride July 24; Hear "Invisible Friends" From The Album

The Go

Detroit-based rockers The Go are preparing for the release of Howl on the Haunted Beat You Ride. Due in stores July 24th, Howl on the Haunted Beat You Ride is the follow up to the The Go’s critically acclaimed 2003 self-titled release, The Go.

Former bandmates of Jack White of White Stripes and Raconteurs fame, The Go have their own pop sensibility, with a more Beatles meet The Beach Boys sound on tracks like "Invisible Friends". This is definitely more indie pop than the Stripes, whom the band has been known to tour with.

See below to get "Invisible Friends" and hear it for yourself.
