John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Lene Lovich

Lene Lovich (/leɪnə lʌvɪtʃ/) (born March 30, 1949) is an American singer, songwriter and musician of Serbian descent based in England. Born Lili Marlene Premilovich in Detroit, Michigan, Lovich moved to England at the age of 13, where she met the guitarist and songwriter, Les Chappell, who later became her long time music collaborator and life partner. She first gained attention in 1979 with the release of her hit single "Lucky Number", which peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart and made her the lead figure of the new wave music scene.

Lovich was among the artists John Peel endorsed by the late 70s, when she started her solo career after failed attempts with other bands such as the Diversions. She recorded two sessions for his program and Peel appeared quite fond of her first solo album, "Stateless", released in 1978. However, after showing a bit of interest in her second LP, "Flex", he seldom featured Lovich again in his program and, when he did, he played her older material. Her third album, "No Man's Land", was released in 1982, three years later after her previous one. Perhaps too much time had passed for John to maintain interest in her music.
