Go Betty Go is an all-female pop punk band from Los Angeles that, along with bands such as Union 13, Los Abandoned, The Dollyrots, and Left Alone, have been prominent in the Southern California Chicano Punk scene that started in the mid-2000s and continues today.

The band formed in Glendale, California in 2001 and originally consisted of sisters Nicolette Vilar (lead vocals) and Aixa Vilar (drums) along with Michelle Rangel (bass) and Betty Cisneros (guitar). The name originates from a phrase the band used to chant to try to get guitarist, Betty Cisneros, to start a song.

The band released two CDs for SideOneDummy Records. The first was "Worst Enemy" in 2004. The second was "Nothing Is More", produced by Flogging Molly’s Ted Hutt, in 2005. They also took part in the Warped Tours of 2004 and 2005.

The original band reunited in 2012, and in 2015 independently released a new EP titled "Reboot" working again with 57th Annual Grammy Awards winning producer Ted Hutt, who produced all of their previous releases.

They have received favorable attention in the press, such as:

The band reunited with the original four band members in July 2012.
