[3] 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.

[4][7] 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".

[4] 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.

[9] 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.

[15] On 29 January 2005 Lane performed "Evie" with The Wrights at Waveaid in relief of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, presented at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

[11] In 2007 he joined Crowded House for their tour in Europe and Australia, temporarily replacing Liam Finn on miscellaneous guitar, keyboard and backup vocal duties.
