THE RAVEONETTES

The Raveonettes are a Danish alternative rock duo, consisting of Sune Rose Wagner (born 7 October 1968, Sønderborg, Denmark[1]) on guitar, instruments, and vocals, and Sharin Foo (born 12 December 1979, Copenhagen[2]) on bass, guitar and vocals. Their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmonies inspired by The Everly Brothers[3] coupled with hard-edged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise, very similar to The Jesus and Mary Chain. Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of '50s and '60s rock with intense electric instrumentation, driving beats, and often dark lyrical content, similar to another of the band's influences, The Velvet Underground.

Everyday is Like Sunday, Except for Blue Monday and Ruby Tuesday, and...Well, Friday I'm in Love: Weekly Mix #49
While basing an entire mix on song titles with colours in them may seem like a cop-out, I would like to offer a little more commentary than pointing out that many bands put colours into their band names and song titles. In fact, I’m quite fascinated by the involuntary neurological phenomena of colour synesthesia in which a person can see colours in response to aural stimuli, most often...

The Raveonettes - Suicide
Those Fuckers Stay In Your Head Flossy Danish duo Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo aka The Raveonettes, have just released the first single from their upcoming, fourth studio album. Titled ‘Suicide’, it’s a very European sounding pop song, sitting somewhere between the bouncy guitar rhythms of ‘Love In A Trash Can’ and the lighter shoegaze moments of ‘Black...
Raving On His Own: Sune Rose Wagner's Solo Album
As if he weren’t busy enough last year, Sune Rose Wagner, better known as one half of The Raveonettes, digitally released a self-titled solo album back on December 8, but I’ve just gotten around to listening to it now. This record highlights an interesting issue that crops up for me once and awhile, namely assessing music with lyrics in a language I have no knowledge of. You see,...
