LEXI VALENTINE and NADIA KING got together in 2003 intent on presenting a strong female presence that wasn't an adolescent cry in the dark. No juvenile sulking and sneering and no melodrama. Soon, FRENCH joined them in forming MAGNETA LANE, a potent antidote to the faux punk posturing of today's manufactured young rock bands. Guided by their influences, THE KINKS, SONIC YOUTH, VELVET UNDERGROUND andNANCY SINATRA, Magneta Lane have created a sound, mood and style all their own. Impressively they preserve their femininity while engaging the audience in positively gritty sounds and wise beyond their year's lyrics. 'Dancing with Daggers' is an astonishing full length, ten track debut album from the most promising Canadian female rock trio of 2006.
