She began making economical, scratchy, punchy four-track recordings with mainly guitar and a drum machine in 2005. Tiny self-made label 'Filthy Home Recordings' released two singles and an EP. These early recordings were well received locally and nationally, and won her a place in the Anthony Wilson-hosted Manchester Showcase at 2006's world famous South by Southwest Festival in Texas. Also that year LoneLady inaugurated Too Pure's Singles Club with 'Early The Haste Comes', and it marked the LoneLady's first sessions in a proper studio.
