Go Betty Go

Go Betty Go is an all-female pop punk band from Los Angeles that, along with bands such as Union 13, Los Abandoned, The Dollyrots, and Left Alone, have been prominent in the Southern California Chicano Punk scene that started in the mid-2000s and continues today.
History.
Early years.
The band formed in Glendale, California on January 1, 2000 and originally consisted of Nicolette Vilar (lead vocals), Betty Cisneros (guitar), Aixa Vilar (drums), and Michelle Rangel (bass). Nicolette and Aixa are sisters. The name originates from a phrase the band used to chant to try to get guitarist, Betty Cisneros, to start a song.
The band released two CDs for SideOneDummy Records. The first was "Worst Enemy" in 2004. The second was "Nothing Is More", produced by Flogging Molly’s Ted Hutt, in 2005. They also took part in the Warped Tours of 2004 and 2005.
