An exceptional voice and outstanding musicians explore new musical horizons. Lo and the Magnetics deliver it to you in the form of their debut release on “Top 5 Records” entitled "A Part"

The Canadian release (Nov. 16th, 2004) was immediately followed by a major successful 5-week European tour (see calendar) to support its release on that territory on German label “Grover Records”
