The Raveonettes are...

• Sune Rose Wagner - vocals, guitar
• Sharin Foo - vocals, bass

Embraced by the music press with the rest of the New Rock Revolution of the early '00's, The Raveonettes had already made waves in their native Denmark. Their debut mini-album 'Whip It On' was a critical success and received the honour of winning Best Album at the Danish Music Awards in 2003.

Melding influences new and old, the band have created their own unique musical identity, coming across somewhere between '60s girl group pop and claustrophobic '80s drone-rock, such as Jesus And The Mary Chain. They release their first full-length album, 'Chain Gang Of Love', in September 2003.

The male/female duo, made up multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Sune Rose Wagner and singer/bassist Sharin Foo, began recording together in 2001. Moving to New York the following year, the band was embraced by the burgeoning garage punk scene and began recording their new album with accomplished producer Richard Gottehrer. Tom Edwards
