Spotlight on Dragonette

Canadian electro-poppers Dragonette are profiled in a brand new episode of bpm Spotlight, airing tonight at 8:30 pm ET. We sort of love the fact that sultry singer Martina Sorbara is the daughter of Ontario MPP Greg Sorbara. And that she knits.

Dragonette's collaboration with Parisian house DJ Martin Solveig, "Hello," is currently hotter than ... well, something very hot indeed.

Stay tuned for new episodes of bpm Spotlight airing next week: go behind the scenes at Toronto's recent Peace Dot Love Festival, starring OutKast's Big Boi (Feb. 15), and meet Washington, DC trio Thunderball (Feb. 17).
