About
Dragonette is the stage name of Canadian singer-songwriter Martina Sorbara. Originally an electronic music band from Toronto, Ontario, formed in 2005, the band consisted of Sorbara with her then husband Dan Kurtz as bassist and producer (also in The New Deal) and drummer Joel Stouffer.
Dragonette released a self-titled EP in 2005 before being signed to Mercury Records and relocating to London, where they recorded and released their debut studio album, Galore, in August 2007 to moderate critical appreciation. A second studio album, Fixin to Thrill, was released in September 2009. The group's third studio album, Bodyparts, was released in September 2012 and their fourth, Royal Blues, followed in November 2016.
They performed as a group until 2016, when both Kurtz and Stouffer left the band, with Sorbara continuing under the Dragonette moniker as a solo act.
Dragonette's fifth album, Twennies (and the first as a solo act) was released in October 2022.

Dragonette est un groupe canadien d'electropop, originaire de Toronto, en Ontario. Il est à l'origine composé de la chanteuse Martina Sorbara, du bassiste et producteur Dan Kurtz, du batteur Joel Stouffer et du guitariste britannique Will Stapleton (remplaçant de Simon Craig).
Le groupe est formé en 2005 par Sorbara et Kurtz. En 2006, la chanteuse fait un duo avec Basement Jaxx nommé Take Me Back to your House. Un clip s'inspirant des ambiances russes paraît peu après sa sortie. Le premier album, Galore, sort en 2007 en collaboration avec Calvin Harris sur certains titres. Le succès des singles I Get Around et Take It Like a Man permet à Dragonette de se faire une place dans le milieu new wave/synthpop.
En 2009, Dragonette sort un second album, Fixin to Thrill, dont sont extraits trois titres : Fixin to Thrill, Pick Up the Phone et Easy.
Dragonette et Martin Solveig font un duo nommé Boys and Girls qui figure dans l'album. En 2010, une nouvelle collaboration avec Martin Solveig voit le jour : Hello.
