Former members include Sorbara's ex-husband Dan Kurtz who moved from Brazil when he was 4, Joel Stouffer and Will Stapleton (who replaced original guitarist Simon Craig following the band's move to London). They originally formed in Toronto, Canada in 2005.
Originally called "The Fuzz", the band's first gigs were touring the USA as support act for Duran Duran. Since then the band have gone on to support other major UK acts including New Order, Basement Jaxx and the Sugababes. They have recently completed a series of headline gigs in small venues in the UK and Canada, and performed at the Glastonbury Festival 2007. Prior to signing their record contract, the Dragonette (EP) was independently released as promo only and the songs have gained the attention of many critics such as the popular music blog Popjustice where they were named the #1 pop act to look out for in 2007. The band share management with the Scissor Sisters.
On Thursday, February 08 2007, the video for the track "Jesus Doesn't Love Me", which was filmed in December 2006, leaked onto the internet, through the website MySpace and also Popjustice. The video has since been removed from MySpace, as it was not intended to be viewed at this point in time. A 'taster' of this video is currently available to watch on the band's official YouTube page.
In early February 2007 the band flew to Toronto to shoot a music video for their first single I Get Around. The single was initially set for release on 16th April. The date was later pushed back to 30th April. Despite heavy promotion from the band, it entered the UK singles chart at a disappointing #92. Many have attributed this to confusion as to when the single was actually released (at one point there were three conflicting 'release dates'), others claim it simply was not stocked in record shops anywhere outside of London. Also, the fact that I Get Around was at one time available to download for free from the band's website (back in 2005), and was previously released as part of the compilation album "Robopop" (back in 2006)], certainly did nothing to help its performance as a hit single in 2007.
In May 2007, the video for "Take It Like A Man" was leaked onto YouTube before the band had a chance to release it themselves. The second single was released on the 23 of July 2007. Their second single was another commercial disappointment, debuting at #122 on the UK Charts. Around this time a new track was sent out to DJs around the United Kingdom, a cover of Calvin Harris's single The Girls. Dragonette's version however, replaced the lyrics with "The Boys" - a re-working they had previously performed at London's Gay Pride 2007. On the promo CDs was written "Dragonette have something to say to Calvin Harris!" The song was leaked onto the internet. Later, a fan-video from YouTube appeared on Perez Hilton's famous blog. The song was also featured during a Nikki Hilton fashion show.
Galore was made available to download through the UK iTunes store on August 20, 2007. It was physically released on September 24 in Europe and Japan, and on the following day in Canada. The album reached #80 in the Canadian charts but failed to chart in the UK.

The song "Hello" by Dragonette and Martin Solveig features a woman who is at a party, but isn't looking for anything serious or romantic. She explains that she is just there to have a good time and enjoy the company of those around her. The repeated use of "hello" throughout the song is a nod to the social aspect of the party, as it is a greeting that is commonly used at events. The woman acknowledges that the man she's speaking to is attractive, but makes it clear that she's not interested in anything more than the brief conversation they're having. She notes that she's not the type of person to get tangled up in drama or emotions, so there's no need for him to try to win her over.
The lyrics of the song suggest that the woman values her independence and autonomy, and is not looking for someone to complete her or make her happy. Rather, she's content to be with her friends and acquaintances, enjoying the moment and the connection that comes with being in a social setting. The use of the phrase "you're alright" throughout the chorus also signals that the woman is not overly impressed with the man's attempts to woo her, and is comfortable in her decision not to pursue anything with him.
Overall, "Hello" is a fun and upbeat song that captures the essence of a social gathering. The lyrics are empowering and suggest that it's okay to just be in the moment and enjoy the people around you, without feeling like you have to settle down or commit to anything serious.
