   About Lo and the Magnetics
NOT YOUR AVERAGE BAND...

Finally, a band that has the guts to do something different.

An original blend of pop, ska and new wave treated with an Elvis Costello / Joe Jackson touch on the production side.

This quintet had been playing together for four years in a previous project. The natural evolution of the music led them to christen a new pop project in the Fall of 2004 to coincide with the release of their debut album "A Part" on Top 5 Records in Canada and Grover Records in Europe. The release was immediately followed by a major 5-week European Tour (Nov/Dec 2004) The album has received rave reviews and is beginning to creep its way onto college charts in Canada.

In April 2006, the band turned their sights to Asia where they played 15 shows in 8 days in the south of China.

On Ice, but not iced... Stay tuned...
