Lovers' Lane

Magneta Lane played Zaphod's on March 24 and were just as good as the hipster grapevine said they were. The Mark Inside were supposed to open but were snagged by Velvet Revolver for three dates on their tour and consequently were at the Corel Centre the night before.

Lexi Valentine on guitar and sultry vocals, a bit like Debby Harry.



Nadia on kick-pedal demolishing drums; fortunately an audience member fixed it so the show could continue.



French on bass. She had a strong downpicking style which really complemented Nadia's drumming.



More Lexi and French.



French and Nadia do make an awesome rhythm section.



Kinks and Velvet Underground simplicity with some girl pop touches (of the These Boots Are Made For Walking variety - no whining from this trio) make an excellent combination. Their six-song EP Constant Lover is also all killer and no filler.
