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; 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 done live, so the band began their search for the missing link. Thijs Kooi and his keyboard joined the band in December 2007. Creating that full length album is coming closer. Shady Lane is modestly but confidently heading for the future. They are unity that is growing, they are eager and more motivated than ever.
