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.
Outlines
Dragonette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm right at your boarder
Hearts out masquerading
Why can't I come over
I wonder what you do
I'm looking at your perfect outlines
I wanna get with you
And get beyond your perfect outlines
Another one drops to pressure
Another dance in the dark
Another love undercover
Outlines of the heart
Another one drops to pressure
Another dance in the dark
Another love undercover
Outlines of the heart
Outlines
Outlines
Outlines
Outlines
Another one drops to pressure
Another love undercover
Another one drops to pressure

Another love undercover
It takes all your courage
To come any closer
Rise up silhouetting
Shoulder to shoulder
I wonder who are you
I'm looking at your perfect outlines
I wanna get with you
And get beyond your perfect outlines
Another one drops to pressure
Another dance in the dark
Another love undercover
Outlines of the heart
Another one drops to pressure
Another dance in the dark
Another love undercover
Outlines of the heart

The lyrics to Dragonette's "Outlines" depict a person (possibly the singer) who is lusting after someone they are too shy to approach. They are admiring the other person's physical appearance, specifically their "perfect outlines," but they also want to get to know them on a deeper level. The repeated refrain of "Another one drops to pressure, another love undercover, outlines of the heart" suggests that this type of situation is all too familiar, where people succumb to societal pressure and keep their feelings hidden or "undercover," only able to glimpse the outlines of what their heart desires.
The theme of the song seems to be about overcoming shyness and societal pressure to pursue one's desires. The image of "hearts out masquerading" suggests that individuals often put on a facade or hide their true feelings. The repeated lines of "Another one drops to pressure, another love undercover" emphasize that this is a common occurrence, and that people often don't take the risk to pursue a potential relationship. The mention of "silhouetting shoulder to shoulder" implies that the singer desires intimacy and connection with the subject of the song.
