Introduction[edit]

Go Betty Go was an all-girl punk rock band from Los Angeles that, along with bands such as Union 13, Los Abandoned and Left Alone, were part of the southern California Chicano Punk scene in the mid-2000s. [1] [2]

The band formed in Glendale, California in 2001 and originally consisted of sisters Nicolette Vilar (lead vocals) and Aixa Vilar (drums) along with Michelle Rangel (bass) and Betty Cisneros (guitar). [3] The name originates from a phrase the band used to chant to try and get guitarist, Betty Cisneros, to start a song. [4] [5]

The band released two CDs for SideOneDummy Records. The first was "Worst Enemy" [6] in 2004. The second was "Nothing Is More", produced by Flogging Molly’s Ted Hutt, [7] [8] in 2005. They also took part in the Warped Tours of 2004 and 2005. [9] [10]

Line Up Changes[edit]

In February 2006, lead vocalist Nicolette Vilar left the band causing the band to cancel the end of their current tour.[11] After holding auditions, in May 2006 a replacement was found in Emily Wynne-Hughes. [12] [13].

In August 2007, bassist Michelle Rangel posted an announcement on the band's web site stating that she was leaving the band. [14]. A replacement was found in Phil Buckman [15], who is currently playing bass with Filter.

American Idol[edit]

In January 2009, the band's lead singer, Emily Wynne-Hughes, auditioned for American Idol during it's 8th season, where she sang "Barracuda". [16] She passed the audition but was eliminated during the Hollywood round. [17] [18]
