Biography

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Lanie (pronounced "Lannie") Lane was born on 11 February 1987 as Lanier Stefanie Myra Johnston and grew up in Sydney.[1][2][3] From the age of 12 years, Lane was taught guitar by her father and older brother.[4]

Music

On 24 September 2010 she issued her debut single, "What Do I Do", which is the theme tune for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation TV series, Crownies (from July to December 2011).[5] Lane was working as a florist to raise finances for her debut album, To the Horses.[1] She recorded most of the album in February 2011.[1] In August she added the lately written track, "(Oh Well) That's What You Get (Falling in Love with a Cowboy)".[1] According to Lane the track is a result of somniloquy, "I woke up one morning and my boyfriend said, 'You said the weirdest thing in your sleep last night'. He told me and said you'd better write a song about it. I wrote the song and he said, 'Well, that's one side of the story'".[6] The album was self-produced for Ivy League Records.[7] In October 2011, To the Horses, peaked at No. 12 on the ARIA Albums Chart.[8]

Lane has a quirky 1950s dress sense and her music draws inspiration from 1930s to 1950s Americana.[4] Her backing band includes Zoe Hauptman on bass guitar and double bass, Paul Derricott (ex-The Rhino Factory) on drums, Aidan Roberts (Belles Will Ring, The Maple Trail) on electric guitar and backing vocals.[4][9]

In March 2012, Lane covered The Black Keys' track, "Gold on the Ceiling", in a live performance on radio station Triple J's program, Like a Version.[10]

As from July 2011, Lane uses a 1957 guitar named Betty, a 1966 electric Gibson named BoDidd (after Bo Diddley) and an unnamed 1960 archtop guitar.[4][11] The album track, "Betty Baby", is dedicated to the guitar.[11]

Live

In July that same year she opened for Jack White at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney.

Collaborations

Also in 2011, Lane collaborated with fellow singer-songwriter, Clare Bowditch, the pair co-wrote and performed, "Now You're Home", which was issued by Bowditch as a single and on a seven-track extended play, Are You Ready Yet?.[13] Bowditch explained her concept "sometimes, songwriting needs to be scary in order to be good. With this in mind, I decided in February that I would turn my hand to co-writing with some of my favourite Australian artists. I wanted the songs to sound glorious to the ear, and leave people feeling uplifted, rather than analytical. The Are You Ready Yet EP is a taste of where this experiment took me: into the homes of people like Gotye and Lanie Lane, and then straight into the studio to lay down the things we had written together".[13] In June and July, Lane and Bowditch performed together on the Winter Secrets Tour.[13]

Recognition

At the APRA Music Awards of 2012, Lane was nominated four times,[14] and her song "(Oh Well) That's What You Get (Falling in Love with a Cowboy)" was performed by Kram (Spiderbait).[15]
