Magneta Lane are a Canadian indie band hailing from Toronto, Ontario. The all-female line-up consists of Lexi Valentine (vocals, guitar) [ nee Flores], Francine "French" Dibacco (bass), and Nadia King (drums [ nee Flores ]). King and Valentine are noted in their biography as being cousins but are actually sisters. 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 rotation on MTV, VH1, and MuchMusic. The group formed after Valentine and King attended a Libertines concert and met the band backstage. After the meeting they decided that watching a concert was not 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. Their sound has been compared to a sassy rock sound of The Runaways and The Pretenders while honoring such influences as Nancy Sinatra, Sonic Youth, and The Kinks. They released The Constant Lover and Dancing with Daggers on Toronto based indie label Paper Bag Records. Both albums were successful and allowed the band to tour Canada, the US and Japan. The band has recently signed to Last Gang Records and will release Gambling with God in 2009.
