Robin Lane

In the 1970s, Lane moved to eastern Pennsylvania and then to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where her musical interests turned from folk-rock to a harder sound influenced by the growing punk rock and new wave genres.

Lane continued writing and recording music, and released the independent EP Heart Connection (1984), the self-produced cassette In Concert (1989), and the full-length Catbird Seat (1995).

On March 2 and 3, 2019, band members staged another reunion concert at The Burren in Somerville, Massachusetts to support the release of Many Years Ago: The Complete Robin Lane & the Chartbusters Collection (Blixa Sounds).

Previously released material consists of the two studio LPs, Robin Lane & the Chartbusters (1980) and Imitation Life (1981); and the EPs 5 Live (1980) and Heart Connection (1984).

In addition, the set contains outtakes from the recording sessions for Heart Connection, as well as a series of demos, previously unreleased studio tracks, and various live performances.
