  The Raveonettes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Raveonettes are a Danish rock and roll duo consisting of Sune Rose Wagner (on guitar, instruments, vocals) and Sharin Foo (on bass and vocals).
Adding guitarist Manoj Ramdas and jazz drummer Jakob Hoyer, the Raveonettes booked one of their first gigs at the SPOT festival in Aarhus, the oldest city and second largest in Denmark.
This was their first album in which Sharin Foo did not play bass, instead The Raveonettes added bass player Anders Christensen who toured with seminal jazz drummer Paul Motion's band, amongst others, who recorded on the album and now tours with the band.

 The Raveonettes : interview
Danish duo The Raveonettes lay claim to the throne of The White Stripes and have much common ground with other bands prefixed by "The".
In its years as a platform for upcoming bands to showcase their talent in the capital, the Water Rats has played host to debuting artists from the likes of Alice in Chains, Oasis and most famously, was the stage for Bob Dylan's first UK appearance on 22 December 1962.
The greatest hits set may be quite a way off for The Raveonettes, but if their intoxicating brand of raw rockin' psychedelia is anything to go by, then 2003 should see them prove to the world that Denmark exports much more than bacon, Carlsberg and Peter Schmeichel.

 The Raveonettes: Pretty in Black - PopMatters Music Review
The last time we left The Raveonettes, they had surprised many with their charming Chain Gang of Love, a record imbued with 1950s nostalgia and brimming with plenty of fuzzed-out guitar noise that owed a lot to The Jesus & Mary Chain.
The Raveonettes gimmick was simple: songs were short, Wagner's guitars dominated the mix, burying the bass in a whoosh of distortion, the percussion was spare, save for the odd minimal electronic touch, and as the album cover boasted, every song was recorded in B flat major.
The likes of David Lynch and John Waters might come to mind when hearing The Raveonettes, but on the new record, any sense of Lynch's sinister irony or Waters's campiness is cast aside in favor of a sincere homage to a bygone era.

The Raveonettes sound is, according to Sune, "a tribute to a lot of the great music," that has come before them: "…the primal single beat of the Cramps, the noisiness and dark feeling of the 80s, the Jesus & Mary Chain, the girl groups of the 60s, the drone thing of Suicide…."
Drawing on cultural as well as musical influences, the Raveonettes have taken their inspiration from trashy B movies for Whip It On's packaging and Denmark's Dogme95 theoretical film collective for the current incarnation of their sound.
, "We are the Raveonettes," the band's bassist/vocalist/co-conspirator Sharin Foo drolly announces between songs to a sold-out roomful of New York cognoscenti at the Mercury Lounge in November 2002.

The reemergence of girl/guy duos and the revival of the NYC punk rock glory days are both phenomena in full swing.
The Raveonettes introduced themselves to the world in the summer of 2002 with an eight-song EP entitled Whip It On on the Danish indie Crunchy Frog Records, then shortly thereafter introduced themselves to New York City with a triumphant debut performance at CBGB's.
However they did impose a number of rules on themselves before recording: first, the songs all had to be in B-flat minor; second, there were to be no more than three chords in any song; third, all songs had to be under three minutes; and fourth, no high hat or ride cymbals were allowed.

A rip in the fabric of time brought us The Raveonettes, and we all should be glad they were sucked into a vortex from the early 1960's to today.
Jettisoned are the constant fuzz and dentist drill distortion of their previous two albums, and in its place are pared down, pensive songs that illuminate the song craft of Sune Rose Wagner and heightened angelicism of Sune and Sharin Foo's vocal harmonies.
Besides "Boyfriend," the only other Raveonettes indulgence is on "Ode to LA." With, out of nowhere, Ronnie Spector lending her trademark vocals to the track.

Named in homage to Buddy Holly’s greatest rocker, Denmark’s Raveonettes have forged small, satisfying changes on twangy garage pop over three records.
When I saw that "My Boyfriend's Back" was on this disc, I thought, "Goodie, a punky, loud version of that old chestnut." But what you get is a pretty straight-on reading of the song that still sounds like 1958 or 1964, or whenever that song originially came out.
Anyway, after three albums, the Raveonettes remain one of the more exciting bands of the last few years.

Determined to make music on their own unique terms, the duo decided to record all their songs in the key of B flat major, surround by three chords and each song had to be less than three minutes long.
Gone is the B flat major rule of thumb and gone is much of the Raveonettes noise that made Chain Gang the recognized album it was.
As their unique brand of garage rock for the new millennium evolves, The Raveonettes are sure to keep listeners on the edge of their ears with their slick bag of musical tricks.

Absent are the all B-flat-minor notes of "Whip It On," the all B-flat-major notes of "Chain Gang of Love" and the forced pairing of songs to fit into three minutes slots.
With guests such as Spector, Martin Rev from the Suicides and Moe Tucker, Velvet Underground's drummer, The Raveonettes have cleaned up their distorted sound from its previous albums in favor of a crisply produced sound that fits well with the bands attempt at mainstreaming.
Though The Raveonettes have matured and created lyrics that are as provocative as privies recordings, "Pretty In Black" is only the first step in what will hopefully be a follow-up album held together by a set thought and not a whimsical collection of songs loosely related by vocals and lyrics.

 TrouserPress.com :: Raveonettes
They strike the right poses and steal from ultra-slick sources, and manage to construct some tremendously imaginative, fun passages.
The problem, and it's a doozy, is that the idea of the Raveonettes is much more exciting than the reality, which can be fun but is also sometimes dull, a conglomeration of unswerving dissonance, echoey rhythm tracks and reassuring twee-pop quaintness.
So is the urgent pace of "Do You Believe Her" and the pogo beach blast of "Beat City." It's nothing the Reid brothers haven't already done better and abandoned, but the Raveonettes give it a good go.

The darkly cinematic "Attack Of The Ghost Riders," the garage-punk duo's first single, is bona fide "new wave," nostalgic yet modern and never sentimental.
By the fourth track of the album, The Raveonettes' repetitive vocal treatments and single key signature grow tiresome, but the one thing they don't lack is energy.
The album's final track, "Beat City," ends with a wailing symphony of vocal harmonies and screaming guitars.

Tucker was already such a fan of the Raveonettes that she showed up on her sixtieth birthday at a studio in Atlanta, where she lives, to add drum parts to five songs, including "Red Tan," on which Wagner aptly spins out with some agitated Lou Reed-stutter guitar.
The Raveonettes have come a long way since their U.S. debut in July 2002: a half-empty, dinner-hour showcase at CBGB in New York.
At the time, Wagner and Foo, who had been working together for two years, were label-less in the States, hitting brick walls in Denmark and had been playing live with guitarist Manoj Ramdas and drummer Jakob Hoyer for just a few months.

Fueled by a fascination with America's vintage cultural landscape and a musical obsession with the Jesus & Mary Chain, Dutch duo the Raveonettes have been making an ultra-cool, minimalist version of garage-rock since the early 2000s.
Though they often preordain very specific parameters for the music they make (in terms of length, key, and structure), the Raveonettes have still managed to forge collaborations with such esteemed rock and pop figures as Moe Tucker of the Velvet Underground, Martin Rev of Suicide, and Ronnie Spector.

The Raveonettes are ambitious in their own way, and it works brilliantly.
The high-speed garage-y "Do You Believe Her" shimmies with a darker posture, but that's exactly what the Raveonettes are going for.
Whip It On is a decent look at what the Raveonettes are capable of, certainly an honest effort, but more impressive in the sense that they're rock & roll antagonists.

The Raveonettes are back, and set to release Chain Gang of Love on September 2nd.
Whilst The White Stripes mine a seam of blues-fuelled guitar and drum chemistry and The Vines a pumped schizophrenic grunge phychedlia, the pop sensibilities of The Raveonettes makes them closer cousins of The Strokes.
The Raveonettes' blend of CBGBs-era angular guitar and perfect pop sensibility appealed so much to Blondie producer Richard Gottehrer that the Sire Records co-founder has produced their latest material.

 The Raveonettes : Pretty in Black - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Where the Danish duo's debut album was a weird study in pretty/ugly juxtapositions, burying sweet '60s-inspired pop tunes under tons of feedback and distortion, this ingenious followup is all about space and restraint.
Songs like "Heavens" and "Uncertain Times" could have been lifted straight from the Everly Brothers songbook, and the lead single, "Love in a Trashcan," is pure Duane Eddy surf guitar pop.
They pull off the unlikely feat of making classic American pop music sound edgy and dangerous again, and -- probably because they grew up in Denmark, sheltered from the numbing presence of "oldies" radio -- they do it with a refreshing absence of hipster irony.

Channeling the strangely simpatico combination of Buddy Holly and the Jesus & Mary Chain, the Raveonettes have become masters of their own feedback-soaked pop in the space of one EP and this album, CHAIN GANG OF LOVE.
This is an album that is quite suitable for a drive around downtown as well as chilling out at home.
