The show, featuring an all-new cast, will screen on TV2 at 8.45pm on April 30. http://tvnz.co.nz/go-girls The track is the title song from their 2011 album ‘100 Years of Rock’.

The prolific team have also just released three new remixes of "All the Shining Lights" from the same album, with the promise of more to come. If you like what you hear, you can also check out the latest album from Gold Medal Famous, ‘100 % Pure’.
