Because usually in the past when I was in a big band, that was all I did.

Obviously, the hit singles get the biggest reaction - that's when you can see people really getting excited.

When we finished the tour we had been writing together for a year. We moved forward from there and have just now finished our record. We're having a new record out in the Spring.

I'm hoping that with the high profile that the Go-Go's are going to have over the next year, that if anybody is interested in what else I do, I'll have something I can say that I do.

The new material fits very comfortably with the older stuff.

I think it's a reflection of the music business in general, which to me seems very fragmented.

I'm friends with Carla Olsen and she's doing a lot of producing these days. She's getting quite a little collection of records that she's produced. She's real busy.
