Born in Bilbao (Spain) in 1976, Ainara LeGardon was vocalist and guitarist of the Spanish rock band Onion from 1994 till 2003. Ainara LeGardon's solo debut was "In the mirror", considered one of 2003's best albums in Spain by the media. This album featured Chris Eckman (The Walkabouts) on the production along with other guest musicians as Joe Skyward (Posies, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Walkabouts) on bass. It was released in Spain by Winslow Lab (Ainara's own label) and distributed by Dock. After extensive touring all over Spain (where she opened for Thalia Zedek, Tara Jane O'Neil, Dayna Kurtz, Chris Eckman and Karate), and also in France, Germany (supporting The Walkabouts), Belgium and Holland, her second album, "Each day a lie", was released in April 2005, once more produced by Chris Eckman and featuring some guest musicians, this time from the Spanish independent scene, plus Al DeLoner from the acclaimed Norwegian band Midnight Choir. Once more this record has been given reviews by musical magazines all over Europe (Rock de Lux, Mondo Sonoro, Muzikalia, Bad Magazine, Undertoner, Fomp, Bokson, etc…), as well as some of the most read Spanish journals (El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia, etc…). The first part of the tour consisted in 20 shows all over Spain, including opening acts for Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & Matt Sweeney and Giant Sand.
