The Linda Lindas Cover the Go-Go’s’ “Tonite”
The Linda Lindas started out as a cover band, and we’ve played more songs by the Go-Go’s than anyone else.

Because the cover is such a hit at shows, we decided to record a studio version to pay tribute to the greatest all-female rock band of all time, a crucial part of the L.A. punk scene, and our heroes.
