Vacation (Cover) - The Go-Go's by Foxes and Fossils

[@petersilver4294]

I cant believe what a great cover band these guys are.

[@anthonygallo3576]

Another genius ,they are not a cover band they are actors not musicians

[@mattkav684]

I just stopped in for a burrito and a margarita and then I heard this AMAZING band out on the patio...

The drummer is killing it.

Mr John Pike on drums.

[@paulmahoney5326]

I can't believe people are sitting there and not getting up to dance. Great cover. I'm so glad I've found this group as I've found they cover a lot of great songs.

[@jeffreese4194]

As a huge Go Gos fan this group gets my approval for really doing the song justice

[@lynwessel2471]

This one and Our Lips are Sealed are on the Gogos yt channel playlist of fav. covers.

[@craigcampbell8560]

Maggie Adams has one of the most beautiful and purest voices I've ever heard. Don't get me wrong, I'm NOT throwing any shade at Sammie at all because she's a great singer with a great voice as well, but Maggie's voice is simply incredible. She could sing a page out of the phone book and sound incredible. The only thing that sounds even better than Maggie singing by herself, is her and Sammie singing together, regardless of who is singing lead and who is singing harmony. It doesn't even matter which part of the harmony they're singing. Pure magic either way.

[@brianambrosemcmahon8531]

How lucky are the patrons at the Mexican restraurant having the foxes and fossils playing live.

[@anthonygallo3576]

It it amazing how such a great sound can come from all these band members and it comes so effortlessly!!!

[@nicholasferrara7299]

During the first few seconds of the song Sammie’s adorable facial expressions broke a million teenage boy’s hearts 💕 What a beautiful, talented sweet soul! ❤

Excellent. The Go Go's were a killer band and should be tough to cover. They made it look easy

[@billc6087]

[@fredgerken8095]

The harmonies, as always, just blow me away.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

[@bobvogel2412]

So young AND to be this talented is absolutely amazing. I refuse to call your songs 'covers'. Ladies your harmonies are spot on. This is what hard work and talent sound like. Continued success to you now and for years to come. WOW!

[@christopherwhite1648]

I would rather go to a concert by Foxes and Fossils than almost any resurrected 80 or 90s band with 1 original member. Maggie and Sammie have such pure vocals that bring a tear to my eye. Beautiful.

[@thomassullins8690]

I read up a lot about the Beach Boys lately. (One of my 67 year self's favorites). Odd to find they have some sort of licensing/approval company to tell themselves who and how many 'count' as Beach Boys for concert appearances, etc. Refreshing to see this group here on video,just singing and obviously having good time.

[@christianmeglio9111]

The GoGo's are still together and sound great!

[@mikehoncho7165]

Not me. Went to see Foreigner a few months back and they rocked that show. And no way would I rather see this band over Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett. 80's rock rules!

[@austins7721]

@@mikehoncho7165 Def Leppard is probably the only band out of those that still sounds decent. I saw Vince Neil last year and he could not sing for the life of him. He lost his voice and it really turned me off from seeing all 4 of them.

[@mikehoncho7165]

@@austins7721 ...yeah I've been watching some of Vinces most recent performances and it's pretty brutal to be honest. I saw Def Leppard back in the 80's but never got the chance to see Motley Crue. Tour probably not going to happen, for now anyway.

How in the world did this happen in 2014 and it didn't become an overnight sensation! Every time I listen to one of their vids I think, "If I only was there"! AMAZING!

[@lynwessel2471]

When "Suite " finally made it to 1M views in Dec.2018, I think KZbin started to recommend them more and the views of many of their videos finally took off .

[@TommygunNG]

They are still going. But yes, so much talent--so much "good" whatever--goes unappreciated in this world. Corona shutdown got a lot of these sorts of acts semi-discovered, but there's only so much of that "good" we can support. It's the nature of things.

[@davidblees9539]

Better each time I listen to any of their songs.

[@lynwessel2471]

I've been on here most days for 7 years,waiting to see this blow up like it has. I think it's just because people want to see them live for themselves assuming they're a full time band , not bothering to find out that this is a fun project they do on the side because they love doing it. At this point they're taking in so much from views, Tip Jar and Patreon that I doubt they could net much more quitting their jobs and doing it the conventional way. (129,000 views Thursday ,$50,000/year just from the 40 VIPs on Patreon, 640 total have joined.) They've always been public about what they are and aren't if one bothers to read or ask first and not assume.
