_“Go Betty Go has never meant more than it does now and we’re all sticking together
more than ever to help her fight_” – Go Betty Go

Guitarist Betty Cisneros made her debut into the Los Angeles music scene in 2000
when she and her bandmates in Go Betty Go were all attending high school in Glendale,
CA. The punk quartet swiftly ascended from local shows to a national reputation 
via reams of critical acclaim and non-stop gigging which included two lengthy Warped
tours, frequent cross-country tours, and an attention getting invasion of South 
by Southwest. Indie label SideOneDummy quickly signed the band, they released their
debut album Worst Enemy in 2004 and have been making waves ever since. Go Betty 
Go’s music is driven by Cisneros’ big, roaring guitar, singer Nicolette Vilar’s 
soulful, siren call, the momentous urgency of Michelle Rangel’s bass, and Aixa Vilar’s
tumultuous drumming.

_“This is tough news to have to share with everyone as it feels surreal._ _Betty
has received the gut-wrenching news that she has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
She has no other option but to fight like hell. Betty along with all of us in the
band and everyone else who loves her, sees no other road, except the one to recovery.
Those of you who know Betty, know she’s strong, resilient, and is determined to 
become cancer-free!_ _If love alone could cure cancer, Betty would be all cured 
now,” _shares the members of Go Betty Go_._

On July 3 Los Angeles venue The Paramount will be hosting a special all-ages _Benefit
Show For Betty_ starting at 3:00 pm and featuring Go Betty Go with Two Tens guitarist
Adam Bones filling in for Cisneros. The show will also include special guests The
Dollyrots, Johnny Madcap and The Distractions, with an acoustic set by Linh Le &
Jennie Cotterill from Bad Cop / Bad Cop, MC/Hosts HazyChaos with special guest Emily
Valentine. Tickets can be purchased here with 100% of the proceeds going to Betty’s

_“To say Betty’s part of our band family would be a huge understatement; we came
up in the same scene in LA beginning almost 20 years ago. She’s “Tia Betty” to our
kids and also one of the most badass guitarists and songwriters out there. We’re
here to support her in any way we can, knowing she’s one of the strongest women 
we know and will show cancer who’s boss”_ _—The Dollyrots_

A Go Fund Me has also been set up to help Betty through her fight: [https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-betty-battle-her-cancer-away](https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-betty-battle-her-cancer-away)

_“When they asked me to be Betty’s understudy for an upcoming show in case she couldn’t
play, I was surprised. I was also flattered that they’d thought of me. It was fun
and a bit of a challenge to learn the songs. I’ve seen them play live many times
over the years and listened to their recordings a bunch, so I felt familiar with
the songs. But listening to them with a focused ear made me realize on a whole new
level how sophisticated they are and how talented the band is. Some of Betty’s parts
were particularly tricky to learn. It gave me a whole new appreciation for them 
as songwriters, musicians, and a band. I always love hanging with the GBG ladies.
It’s nonstop laughs, fun, and positive energy. We’ve been friends for years and 
have shared the stage many times. So, getting to play music with them has been truly
wonderful, but I wish it were under different circumstances. In the end, I’m just
honored to be able to be a part of helping the band help Betty while she gets better”__–
