Lene Lovich: Slav Siren To Play Mata Hari
Cynthia Rose, Creem, March 1983
MARLENE PREMILOVICH professionally, Lene Lovich has been out of the musical limelight for awhile, since the January 1980 release of Flex and a subsequent tour of Ireland, America and Europe (including her ancestral Yugoslavia). She did only two live turns this summer: both on the stage of London's Venue, helping a visiting Tom Verlaine with sax and co-vocals on Postcard From Waterloo.
