  • Lioness are a Canadian indie rock dance band formed in January 2007 in Toronto, Ontario by Ronnie Morris and Jeff Scheven, former rhythm section of controller. controller and No Dynamics' singer Vanessa Fischer. Lioness released their debut self-titled EP, Lioness on October 21st, 2008 on New Romantic. Honing their craft by playing low-key after-hours sets in sweaty, off-the-radar locales throughout Toronto, the band generated a remarkable undercurrent of buzz in the following months, leading to support slots with the likes of Hercules and Love Affair, !!!, You Say Party! We Say Die! and k-os. Their sound combines dark disco grooves of Scheven's heavy drumming with Morris' unique bass sound and is conspicuous for its lack of guitars. Fischer draws upon jazz, old soul and blues, roaring over layers of electronic squall. On stage, they are a synthesis of electronic rock band and performance art project, a drum and bass wall of sound bathed in red light.
