266 The B e a t D . C . ' S GO-GO BANDS The following is an alphabetical listing of all of the go-go bands that we (with some help from Moe Shorter) have been able to identify during the course of our research. It is based on a compilation published by the Folk Arts Program of the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities in 1991 as part of a brochure entitled D.C. Go Go: what's the time? In addition to the obvious names, such as Experience Unlimited (E.U.) and Rare Essence (RE), our list encompasses some of the proto-go-go groups (like Mouse Trapp) as well as some of the more ephemeral groups—such as Secret Code Crew—who made only a small mark on the scene. Most of them are/were groups that worked in clubs, but a few—such as T.T.E.D. Allstars—were studio aggregations: Absolute Chaos The Aggression AII-N-I A.M.-F.M.
