If you have to do it, then you're doing the right thing.
We only get together when there's a good reason. Like, last summer, we didn't really intend to go out, but we thought the B-52's tour was a good opportunity.
I will be very grateful that I get to go out and play a song and get well paid for it.
I haven't been approached to do anything, but I would certainly make room for it. It was a really fun time.
The new material fits very comfortably with the older stuff.
It's very different than it use to be. I think everybody has a lot more experience in how to be in a relationship - whether it's a marriage or a significant other or a business or a friend.
But the Go-Go's are a very original, kind of organic thing.
The first album is a classic record and I think the prototype of a sound that no one else does.
I'm friends with Carla Olsen and she's doing a lot of producing these days. She's getting quite a little collection of records that she's produced. She's real busy.
Every now and then, a lot of bands doing the same kind of music will organically sprout up at once.
I think it's a reflection of the music business in general, which to me seems very fragmented.
Because usually in the past when I was in a big band, that was all I did.
I met Rodney when I first moved to LA, so I'd say 20 years. He's the eternal teenager.
Ive struggled just as much as anyone else.
A lot of people don't realize it, but I've a lot less success than I've have had success.
Kids need stuff which is different than what their life is that they can kind of live through.
Obviously, the hit singles get the biggest reaction - that's when you can see people really getting excited.
We always have a good time playing, and I'm glad it shows.
It's kind of like family. I can't say that we go out to lunch and to the movies every day with each other. Everyone's fully grown adult women with lives.
When we finished the tour we had been writing together for a year. We moved forward from there and have just now finished our record. We're having a new record out in the Spring.
I'm hoping that with the high profile that the Go-Go's are going to have over the next year, that if anybody is interested in what else I do, I'll have something I can say that I do.
I think if they don't have enough police, they need to get some from other places. They need some radical cops.
I'm so happy, ... This was all about Casey's happiness.
You don't do it for some end result, hoping you get signed or get this cool gig or get a big following. It's got to matter to you.
With The Delphines, what I've come to realize is that you have to decide for yourself if it's something that you love and if it's fulfilling to you.
There are problems and conflicts arise, but so far we've been able to overcome any difficulties that arise in a really considerate and mature fashion.
But the new stuff sounds like the Go-Go's, so the crowd isn't getting up and going to the bathroom every time we play a new song.
together we're trying to make a wish come true that somebody else wasn't going to let happen.
Are you kidding me? The thing is, I sing so much better now. I wish I could do the whole first record again. I'm going to try to have a new album out in a year.
Anything that makes a place more attractive makes people want to stop and shop. It's a great community effort to bring people together.
The reunion we did the summer before last was really good. It was the first time that we had a really good time and made money together.
Evil cannot prevail over good. How much more can we take?
I'm just excited to show that everything that was likable about us when we first came out is still intact, and as strong if not stronger than it was.
because I wanted to still be creative when I was very, very pregnant. I never wanted to make a solo record before. Then I started liking the way it was coming together.
I believe it makes us all even closer believe it or not. We were all pretty close to begin with but I think it's done even more for us. It truly is a brotherhood and I'm glad to be a part of it.
