The Raveonettes Black, White

The Raveonettes are a Danish rock duo consisting of Sune Rose Wagner (on guitar, instruments, vocals) and Sharin Foo (on bass, guitar and vocals). Their music is characterized by close twopart vocal harmonies inspired by The Everly Brothers coupled with hardedged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise. 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. We are not scared of being blunt about what the references are in our music, said Sharin Foo. For instance, if you look at our name, The Raveonettes, it s a complete direct reference to The Ronettes and Buddy Holly s Rave On So, in that sense, we re pretty clear about Sune has said in an interview: I see us as an extremely good rock n roll band.
