In a 2015 interview on Oprah: Where Are They Now?, Belinda Carlisle of the Go-Go’s revisited how the legendary group was formed. In 1978, Belinda and the four other original members of the band, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey, Margot Olavarria, and Elissa Bello, decided to create a music group, although she said the majority of them had no previous exposure to playing instruments.
“We were sitting on a curb, five girls one night at a party in Venice,” Belinda said. “Everybody was in a band except for us, and you could be terrible. You didn’t really have to know how to play an instrument. So it was like, ‘I’ll play bass!’ ‘I’ll play guitar!’ That’s how the band was formed. Nobody knew how to do anything.”
Despite their inexperience with performing, the group remained driven and quickly moved up the music industry ladder. They’re now considered to be the most accomplished all-female rock group in music history.
