<p><strong>(from wiki) </strong></p><p><strong>(inspired by narc) </strong></p><p><strong>There is more to DC than just WJFK - George Bush - Crack and minor threat</strong></p><p><strong>Go-Go</strong> is a subgenre of funk music developed in and around Washington, D.C. in the mid and late 1970s. While its musical classification, influences, and origins are debated, Chuck Brown(b. 1934) is regarded as the fundamental force behind the creation of go-go music.</p><p>Go-go is defined by continuous, complex, heavy rhythm arrangements focused through two motifs performed on multiple congas, tumbadoras, and rototoms, interspersed with timbale and<strong> cowbell parts,</strong> driven by heavy-footed drumming and punctuated by crowd call-and-response. A swing rhythm is often implied (if not explicitly stated).</p><p>Some go-go bands have seen varying degrees of success nationally and worldwide, but Washington, D.C. remains the preeminent center for the music.</p><p><strong>Go-Go carved out it's own scene much like harDCore did. It's kind of weird, but yes alot of go-go shows even have a "pit" for moshers. </strong></p><p><a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=fNTDzVi_sg4&mode=related&search=" target="_self"><strong>Here is a clip of The Junkyard Band - live in DC</strong></a></p><p>If you truely love COWBELL - this is your sound</p>
