The New England Pop Music Festival

I managed to catch day 1 of The New England Pop Music Festival, which was being held at The Abbey Lounge, one of Somerville's better dives. The Abbey Lounge seems to have gone through a fair number of renovations over the past several months, and it is still a run-down dive-- which is just how we like it, anyway.

Robin Lane, who was apparently talented enough to appear on a vocal duet on Neil Young's "Round & Round" for his Everybody Knows This is Nowhere album in 1969, does not do well as an angry woman folk-singer. Girl On Top was not so bad, though the lead singer's determination to rock started to brush up into Spinal Tap territory.
