Jane Wiedlin Biography
Jane Wiedlin is an American musician, singer-songwriter, and actress recognized as the co-founder, rhythm guitarist, and backing vocalist of the new wave band The Go-Go's. The Go-Go's became the first all-woman rock group to reach number one on the Billboard charts while playing their own instruments and performing original songs. Immersed in the Los Angeles punk scene of the late 1970s, Wiedlin formed The Go-Go's, and the band gained popularity along the West Coast with their pop-punk sound. The band's breakthrough came with the album "Beauty and the Beat," which reached number one on the Billboard 200 and produced hits such as "We Got the Beat." As a songwriter, Wiedlin co-wrote "Our Lips Are Sealed" with Terry Hall of Fun Boy Three and The Specials, a song that remains a defining anthem of the era.
After leaving The Go-Go's to pursue a solo career, Wiedlin released the charting single "Blue Kiss" and her self-titled solo debut. Her second album, "Fur," featured the successful single "Rush Hour," which peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. She followed with "Tangled," which included the MTV hit "World on Fire." Wiedlin and fellow Go-Go Charlotte Caffey also co-wrote Keith Urban's first number-one song, "But for the Grace of God." In addition to her music career, Wiedlin has appeared in films such as "Clue" and "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure," and has contributed her voice to television shows including "King of the Hill," "Batman: The Animated Series," and "Pinky and the Brain."
The Go-Go's reunited multiple times, reinforcing their legacy with each return. Wiedlin and her bandmates recorded "God Bless the Go-Go's," their first studio album in 17 years. The group received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the California Hall of Fame.
Wiedlin continues to expand her creative pursuits, including writing her memoir, "TMI: Memoirs of a Go-Go," which provides insight into her life onstage and off. She is also known for her covers album, "¡I Protest!," and remains active in music, painting, writing, and dog rescue. Wiedlin's career spans music history, songwriting, punk rock, and pop culture, reflecting her enduring influence in the entertainment industry.
