The Raveonettes (DK)
Sune Rose Wagner on guitar and voice and Sharin Foo on guitar, bass guitar and voice form The Raveonettes, a duo from Denmark. They combine influences from the fifties and sixties with shoegaze and noise, producing a mix of The Velvet Underground and My Bloody Valentine. Melody is essential for The Raveonettes, they build each song around it. Bombastic rythmes, melancholic guitar noise and synths create a dark and depressive feeling. With a carreer of ten years and five albums, NME sees The Raveonettes as one of the most important representatives of the American pop renaissance, together with Vivian Girls, Dum Dum Girls, Glasvegas, The Vaccines and The Drums.
