Anita Lane is an Australian singer and songwriter.
Lane was born in Melbourne, Australia in the late 1950s. She began singing and writing songs at age 16. She was a classmate with Rowland S. Howard who would later form The Boys Next Door and The Birthday Party with Nick Cave. Lane became Cave’s girlfriend and moved to London with the band in 1980. She co-wrote the lyrics of three songs for The Birthday Party (“Dead Joe”, “Kiss Me Black” and “A Dead Song”) before they imploded in 1983.
Lane is sometimes credited as a founding member of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, which was forged from the debris left behind by The Birthday Party’s demise. She had an undeniably strong influence upon Nick Cave and his work, often cited as his “muse”, although her only recorded performance with the band is a ‘cameo’ verse on the Bob Dylan cover “Death Is Not The End” from the album Murder Ballads. She co-wrote the lyrics of the title track to the band’s 1984 LP, From Her to Eternity, as well as the lyrics of the song “Stranger Than Kindness” from Your Funeral, My Trial. She also began to perform and record her own songs. She worked with the German band Die Haut before recording Dirty Sings under her own name. She was joined on the record by Nick Cave, and Bad Seeds Barry Adamson, Thomas Wydler, and Mick Harvey, who produced.
With Harvey, Lane has recorded a series of albums that showcased the dichotomy between her baby doll voice and the sexual longing of her lyrics. These include a pair of albums of Serge Gainsbourg’s covers, 1995’s The Intoxicated Man and 1997’s Pink Elephants.

"Und ich such' mir meinen Sender raus und spiel' mit 100 Phon..." ;-) Es gibt eine neue Last.fm-Gruppe über die Berliner Band Spliff. Ihr Keyboarder Reinhold Heil ist Teil des Pale 3-Projektes mit Johnny Klimek und Tom Tykwer, die Soundtracks wie "Lola rennt", "Der Krieger und die Kaiserin", "One Hour Photo" oder "Das Parfum" komponiert haben. Und Schlagzeuger Herwig Mitteregger hat in letzter Zeit zwei neue Alben herausgebracht. ZZee ya, Hans-Jürgen

Became aware of Anita Lane when I heard 'Jesus Almost Got Me' on rage in 1995. It was like 2am and the mood was just perfect for this mellow song. It's stayed with me ever since.
