21+ Rare Essence, Washington’s premier Go-Go band going on four decades has built a devoted fan base that spans multiple generations. Originated in the mid ’70s by the late Godfather of Go-Go, Chuck Brown, Go-Go links songs together over percussion breakdowns-a raw, non-stop party groove fueled by congas, cowbells and timbales, with call and response interactions that obliterated divisions between a band that doesn’t stop playing and audience that won’t stop dancing. EU (Experience Unlimited) is one of the original WashingtonDC Go-Go bands. Fronted by founding member Gregory “Sugar Bear” Elliott, the original members all attended Ballou High School (currently the subject of a critically acclaimed documentary). The band chose the name Experience due to their respect for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and Unlimited because they did not want to limit the range of their music.
