In 1999, former model and fashion designer Petra Hanson placed a newspaper ad looking for members for the "fun, fantasy, not fame" band she hoped to form.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gaijin À Go-Go )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gaijin a Go-Go Interview )〕 Bassist Sanford Santacroce, drummer Jon Young, keyboardist Catherine Carney and guitarist Yuji Horibe joined Hanson to form Gaijin à Go-Go.〔〔 The number of band members varied throughout the years the band was active from the beginning five up to twelve members.〔 Originally, the band planned to draw from multiple influences including French, Italian, Brazilian and 60s Japanese music.〔 It soon realized a scope that broad was not fitting, and settled on a 60s Japanese pop culture for its inspiration.〔
In 2002, the band self-released its first EP, ''Hello Copycat'', which garnered it attention from Sony Music International, with whom Go-Go signed a record deal.〔 While performing a gig at Don Hill's in Manhattan, Gaijin à Go-Go was noticed by Sony Music executives, who signed them two days later. Sony hired Joe Blaney to produce the band's debut album.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Joe Blaney Producer )〕 Go-Go released two full-length albums, ''Happy-55-Lucky'' and ''Merry-55-Round'' with Sony in 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=There is no escape from the silliness )〕 The latter featured remixes of Go-Go's songs by Yasuharu Konishi, King Britt and Ursula 1000, and an original track recorded for Fuji-TV's broadcasts of New York Yankees baseball games.〔 That same year, the band also contributed on Konishi's ''Atom is Born'' album.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Konishi Yasuharu )〕 In 2006, the band's final album, ''Go-Go Boot Camp'' premiered at Brooklyn Botanic Garden's annual Cherry Blossom Festival.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cuckoo For Kiku )〕 Gaijin à Go-Go was featured in the independent film ''Stanley Cuba'', which released in 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Stanley Cuba'' )〕
