NotesPress Release for Catbird Seat FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ROBIN LANE RETURNS WITH CATBIRD SEAT Robin Lane, described as 'the most talented female artist to come out of New Wave rock', continues her musical journey with the release of Catbird Seat, her most insightful and self assured album to date. Produced in a stripped down fashion evocative of her LA folk-rock roots, Catbird Seat is woven together with Robin's inimitable sense of melody and performed with vocals that Nat Hentoff once referred to as '...ominous, desperately tender, and cuttingly illuminating.' Robin Lane began her recording career with Neil Young in 1969, singing the duet 'Round & Round' on Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. She went on to form Robin Lane & The Chartbusters, a critically acclaimed New Wave band who recorded three albums for Warner Brothers in the early 1980's. While taking a deliberate hiatus from recording to raise her daughter, Robin concentrated on song writing, developing songs for herself and writing for other artists. One song she wrote during this time was 'Wishing On Telstar' which was recorded by former Bangle Susanna Hoffs on her 1991 solo release. During the past few years Robin has been performing her material in club settings. 'I've seen Robin capture an entire room with nothing but her guitar and her songs' says Ocean Music president Bob Kempf. 'Whenever I hear her perform, I am struck not only by the songs, but also by the unadorned way she delivers them. Robin is incredibly genuine - on stage, on record, in her songs, and in her life.' Lane, sanguine about the upcoming release, commented: 'I wanted to make an album of songs, where the song itself was the focal point. We kept the arrangements simple but I did have some fun with interesting and unusual harmonies. I guess you could say that while we stayed stripped down, we painted some soundscapes.' Catbird Seat was co-produced by Robin and Ducky Carlisle, who called upon Barrence Whitfield's Savages to record many of the tracks. 'Using the Savages gave the album a certain edge,' says Carlisle. Catbird Seat is being released by the independent label Ocean Music which is distributed nationally by Distribution North America. The album released on March 21. A national tour this spring and summer will accompany the release. Robin Lane Bio Robin Lane was born into a musical family in the city of Los Angeles. Her father was a songwriter and musical director for Dean Martin who wrote the hit 'Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime.' During high school, the valley girl became immersed in the music scene and the alternative life style of the late 60's and was inspired to write her own songs that she performed in the local folk and rock clubs. She began informal collaborations with the band Crazy Horse and Danny Whitten, who Robin cites as the critical force in her development as an artist. This association led to her more formal debut - singing with Neil Young on his album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. Anxious to develop her own music, Robin opted to leave the wild and overwhelming music and show business scene of LA, moved to the Pennsylvania farm country, Manhattan, and finally Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was in Cambridge in the late 70's, in an environment of cultural and intellectual experimentation that Robin was able to integrate punk and new wave influences, East Coast folk, and West Coast rock in her songs and her band -- the legendary Robin Lane and The Chartbusters. The band included ex-Modern Lovers Asa Brebner and Leroy Radcliffe who infected Lane's songs and sensibilities even further with their garage rock sound. Robin Lane and the Chartbusters recorded three albums for Warner Brothers Records: Robin Lane and the Chartbusters (1980), the live EP 5 Live, and Imitation Life (1981). Two singles from her first album, 'When Things Go Wrong' and 'Why Do You Tell Lies?' received extensive national airplay. The New Rolling Stone Record Guide gave the first album a prestigious fo
