Playing benefit event for Ukraine Feb. 4 in Venice, CA
Today Widows Gold shares their new single “Never Had You At All” from their forthcoming debut LP, Love Drops. The band will play a benefit event for the Kulbaba organization in Venice on Feb. 4 which will raise money for children in Ukraine.
“‘Never Had You at All’ manages to capture the spirit of Nick Lowe’s ‘Cruel to Be Kind’ while still feeling modern and unique. Madeline Star lyrically paints the agonizing push and pull of a vice – ‘You can take away my pain, but numb can seem just the same…’ The song is a dichotomy of melancholy themes and uplifting instrumentation pointing toward a light at the end of a tunnel.” -Widows Gold
Bio:
The female-fronted quartet was formed in Costa Mesa, CA by husband/wife duo Ben Sauer [guitar] and Madeline Star [vocals], later joined by Ian Zamora [bass] and Carson Ford [drums]. The riveting rock outfit made an auspicious entrance onto the scene in May 2021 with their first single “Pretend” – receiving rotational radio play on Sirius XM from Mark Foster [Foster The People].
The group’s debut album Love Drops is set to release in January of 2023, preceded by a string of five singles. The first of which, “Inside,” released August 2, landing on a healthy number of Spotify playlists [including hitting top 3 on Hype Machine’s Most Posted Artists] and receiving rave reviews.
