FLEXING NEW MUSCLE: SLAV SIREN TO PLAY MATA HARI

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.”
