With a few more clubs right outside this area. Nobody has officially named this area a GoGo district but you can catch about 8 shows in a 5 mile radius of Temple Hills.
You can also name it an official hand dance district. You can hand dance at the Trade Winds, Club Elite, The Elks, The VFW almost any night of the week in that same 5 mile radius.

You can add Plaza 23 to that club list of GoGo clubs in Temple Hills.
while i don't care for much of the current go go that's going on, i do appreciate the fact that these bands are primarily a bunch of kids with an interest in creating live music. most of these kids come from schools who don't fund music or arts classes so i find their ingenuity and steadfastness to be a thing of beauty. seems like at one point during the 2000's there was a push for more intelligent go go on the radio, i forgot the name of the 1 band, but they had a song i loved and it was pretty positive.

I wish their was a push for more intelligent music period on the radio.

Mambo Sauce probably. Their band always plays positive Gogo.

it begins with the host/on air personality. which is why i always give kathy hughes the side eye when she tries to wax poetic about morality. she made a comment that the movie precious should have never been made and how demoralizing it was and at the same time she employs some of the most ignorant, non talking, bafoons on the radio, meanwhile kids who actually went to school and studies radio journalism serve as interns and lackey's.
I've never been to a show (heard they attract an unsavory element) but I like go go from what I've heard. It has a nice beat. One friend of mine laments that it all sounds the same.
What most people don't understand about Go-Go is that it's not just for the young generation. They listen to bounce beat go-go which IMO sounds the same (I'm sounding like my father). There are go-go shows for the (grown and sexy) 25 to 40 year old crowd almost every night of the week which features a mature R&B/Jazz vibe.
Just YouTube Bela Dona, Suttle Thoughts, Lissen, Vybe, Let It Flow and Chuck Brown. BTW: This Go-Go remake of Ashley Simpson's "Pieces of Me" is better than the original.
I think they should have a GoGo concert/event/gathering at the Verizon Center some day.
