This sound reached the UK and we LOVED it. criminally overlooked band, smooth, tight yet cranking. TBH I love this as much as any of the big gogo names.RESPECT!
Respect... I have to agree with you and I'm from the DMV and grew up back then. This was BIG! Had us all shocked that the VA had a band like this that few new about until this came out.
My Shit...Shady Groove...When I first heard this joint...I fell in love with their laid back gogo sound...so sweeet!!! DC/Richmond, VA connect always kept you in tune to the GoGo scene...!!!
Man I was living on Rt.1 in Alexandria when this joint was rockn youngin. T.C Williams Crew....Town Boys...Highway Crew....you allready know..Mt.Vernon High...all day erryday..
Yea, I lived all up and down the highway, I lived in the Hole and in Town. But moved to Oxon Hill in 85. Memories. Remember Beacon Mall, the Multiplex?
Some great memories listening to them and playing ball in Janna Lee (The Highway for those who don't know) I wish they would've gotten a bigger push cause they had that crank!!
I know all them ..Gunt, Shawn ..my folks. Still remember them boy's. Fairfax county in the house. Alexandria VA. I stayed in Gum springs Apt. I miss my home boys
Yeah everyone in town groove with the shady. . and ovation home town bands
anybody remember when WOL used to play go-go on weekday afternoons. We get home from school and turn on AM radio listen to some Go-Go!!!!
There are many amazing Go-Go bass performances, but this side of pure magic is the peak.
Thanks bro.
This was the early 80's when gogo was for real.

This joint PUMPED back in the day.
Straight up this was one of the crankingest go-go cuts from the 80s. nothing was better than going to a cook out and they start cranking the go-go.
Miss these days...
