MERCURY LOUNGE
217 E. Houston St.
April 3
Joe Sumner,the son of Gordon Sumner, better known as
Sting, the former lead singer of the Police,seems eager to
prove that his band, Fiction Plane, is an alternative-rock
force to be reckoned with in its own right. Owing more to
the hook-laden pomp and circumstance of early U2 than to
the sleek, sophisticated rock of Sumner's dad's band,
Fiction Plane shows little interest in trading on the
family legacy. Odd, then, that the very name Fiction Plane
turns out to be a sly (or unintentional) anagram for
Infant Police.
