They broke up in 1994, and since then, Moriwaka Kaori (singer/songwriter) has become a solo artist, while Saito Mitsuko (drums) and Tanijima Misa (bass guitar) have dropped beneath the radar, though apparently Mitsuko has been seen drumming for a few other bands.

Initially a four-piece band, Go Bang's lost their guitarist early on, becoming popular after she left the band. They had a somewhat unusual sound, being a punk-influenced bubblegum pop band, and lacking a lead guitarist — though this wasn't always the case — on the album Samantha, for example, the Go Bang's worked with the King Gang's, a three-piece all-male band, who complemented their line up with the addition of electric guitars and keyboard.

Making cheerful, bouncy music, with a slight punk edge, the Go Bang's made an impact on the Japanese charts for a short while, but gradually faded into the background, and disappeared almost completely from the public conscious following their breakup. However, some bands, such as the Titan Go-Kings, have referred to them as influences on their music.

テディ・ベア
手をつないで眠った
テディ・ベア
目が覚めても一緒ね
同じ夢を見ていたのね
同じ夢を見ていたのね
テディ・ベア
変わっていく私の

テディ・ベア
深い眠り抱きしめて
昨夜(ゆうべ)はどんな夢を見たの?
昨夜(ゆうべ)はどんな夢を見たの?
おやすみおやすみ
私の可愛いテディ・ベア
あなたが居なくても眠れる
テディ・ベア
おやすみおやすみ
私の愛したテディ・ベア
もう同じ夢も見ない
テディ・ベア

今夜はちがう夢を見たわ
