David Daniel "Davey" Lane (born 31 January 1981) is an Australian musician. He is the lead guitarist of You Am I (since 1999), and lead singer-guitarist of The Pictures (from 2001). He was also a guitarist in Australian supergroup, The Wrights.
As a teenager Davey Lane transcribed the guitar parts for Australian alternative rock group, You Am I's, website. He provided lead guitar as a session musician for the group's founding mainstay Tim Rogers on his debut solo album, What Rhymes with Cars and Girls, which was released in March 1999. To promote the album, Rogers formed The Twin Set as his backing band, with Lane: were Jen Anderson on violin; Ian Kitney on drums; and Stuart Speed on upright bass. When You Am I reconvened in July that year, Lane joined as a second guitarist for the band.
Lane's first recorded work with You Am I is their live album, ...Saturday Night, 'Round Ten, which was issued in September 1999. It had been recorded at the Casa del Resaca Warehouse in Richmond, in July. His first studio album with the group, Dress Me Slowly, appeared in April 2001. Australian music journalist, Ed Nimmervoll, felt that Lane's addition was "an important change" as it gave the group "extra guitar bite both on stage and in the studio".
Also in 2001 Lane formed a side-project, the alternative rock group, The Pictures, with Leigh White on bass guitar and Brett Wolfenden on drums. Their debut single, "You'll See", appeared on the Illustrious Artists label that same year. They followed with a four-track debut extended play, I Dealt a Rollercoaster, in 2002. Fist2Face's reviewer describes their work as the "sound of the modern world colliding with blood, sweat and wood to create timeless, melodic rock music. High on total energy yet grounded by killer hooks and playing".Craig Mathieson of The Sydney Morning Herald noted their style "alternated between impassioned Neil Young workouts and Who-like eruptions".
