Magneta Lane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Magneta Lane are a Canadian indie band hailing from Toronto, Ontario. The all-female line-up consists of Lexi Valentine (vocals, guitar), French (bass), and Nadia King (drums). The band has received critical acclaim for their debut album The Constant Lover. Their first single, also titled "The Constant Lover" as well as their second single "Ugly Socialite", have been on medium rotation on MTV, VH1, and MuchMusic.
The group formed after Valentine and King attended a Libertines concert and got to meet the band backstage. After the meeting they decided that watching a concert wasn't satisfying enough. The trio came together in fall 2003 and spent the next year playing shows in and around their native Toronto. Since then, they have broken into international indie scenes, and continue to break new ground. They craft a brash, sassy rock sound that resonates the confidence of The Runaways and The Pretenders while honoring such influences as Nancy Sinatra, Sonic Youth, and The Kinks.
