Biography
There are 3 bands with this name:
1. Shady Lane are a pop/electronic four piece from Sydney. The band consists of lead man Jordy Lane on guitars and vocals, Pete Avard on drums, Sarah Jullienne on synth/keys and Conrad Richters (Richard In Your Mind) on bass.
Shady Lane, have tackled terror in their second album, 'Built Guilt', a wistful but wise big brother to 2009’s 'Here We Go, Down the Black Hole'. Finding as much joy in recording as writing, Shady Lane bounced between the coziness of a friend’s home in the Blue Mountains, and the urban womb of a Sydney studio. Using equipment like a $2 microphone made out of a speaker cone, a Korg MS-20 synthesiser, a 70s Farfisa Organ, and recording tracks as a live band to extract the organic lifespirit of the sound, Built Guilt is an intangible beauty. With songs that embody the electricity, fear, love and curiosity of existence, Built Guilt reflects how your enemies, like your friends, can elicit some amazing and powerful imagination.

2. Shady Lane really started in 2004 as a solo project by singer/songwriter Todd Picht. At that time, Todd was still in high school, working on defining his sound and figuring out what kind of music he wanted to write, never wanting to confine himself to one genre of music. Not wanting to play solo forever, he tried to find some friends to join him. After a few failed attempts at settling down with a consistent backing band, Todd continued playing solo. After high school, he decided to only play shows here and there while attending college. In the summer of 2010, Todd joined up with longtime friends and musicians Scott and Jamie Fischer to help round out Shady Lane’s sound. With a common goal of writing good music, they began writing and learning new songs. They played a few shows during that summer, but had to put things on hold when Todd went back to school that fall. Before leaving for school, they recorded their first demo ep, “Bacaba Demos,” which contained six of the songs that they played over the summer. In the summer of 2011, Shady Lane plans to continue playing music and widening their area of influence by playing shows by branching out of New Jersey.

3. Shady Lane is an alternative (progressive) rock band formed in a small village in the North of Holland. Tension, melancholy, surprising melodies and dynamics are the key words that describe the music of Shady Lane. The band is working hard to further develop its own sound. The latest EP "Closer" is recorded in Studio Lucan and produced by Hans Elmers. "Closer" is the next step to creating a worthy full length album. "Closer" is less complicated than its predecessor (Holy ground, 2005); the compositions are further developed, the structure of the songs are clear, and the production is loud but transparent. The experimenting with keyboards resulted in making the songs even more intense. What you hear on tape should be experienced live, so the band began their search for the missing link. After some successful tryouts Thijs Kooi joined the band in December 2007. Creating that full length album is coming closer. Shady Lane is confidently heading for the future and determined to pay out their potential. They are unity that is growing, they are eager and more motivated than ever.
