Magneta Lane disbanded in 2014. Biography The all-female line-up consisted of Lexi Valentine (Alexandra Patricia Flores, vocals and guitar), her sister Nadia King (Valerie Flores, drums) and their high school friend French (Francine DiBacco, bass). The group formed after Valentine and King, then aged 16 and 15 years old respectively, attended a concert in Toronto and met the band backstage, deciding that watching a concert was not satisfying enough. The trio came together in the fall of 2003 and spent the next year teaching themselves how to play their instruments and playing shows in and around their native Toronto. The band released its debut EP, The Constant Lover, in 2004 on Paper Bag Records. The full-length album Dancing with Daggers followed in 2006, and then the band moved to Last Gang Records
