The Raveonettes
Encyclopedia
The Raveonettes are a Danish
indie rock
duo, consisting of Sune Rose Wagner
(born 1973, Sønderborg
, Denmark
) on guitar
, instruments
, and vocals
, and Sharin Foo (born 22 November 1973, Emmelev, Denmark
) on bass
, guitar
and vocals
. Their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmonies inspired by The Everly Brothers
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 (e.g., crime, drugs, murder, suicide, love, lust, and betrayal), similar to another of the band's influences, The Velvet Underground
.
and, after forming the band, began recording Whip It On
at Once Was & Sauna Recording Studio, a former Sony
Studios facility. They booked the studio for three weeks during non-session down time late in 2001 and handled all production chores by themselves. Adding guitarist Manoj Ramdas and jazz
drummer Jakob Hoyer, The Raveonettes booked one of their first gigs at the SPOT festival
in Aarhus
, the second largest city in Denmark
. After the release of Whip It On, Hoyer and Ramdas would contribute to the next three Raveonettes albums, along with other additional musicians. However, by the time Lust Lust Lust was released in 2007, Sune and Sharin would be the only two musicians credited, showing a return to the dynamic around the time of the mini-album.
Officially, the band was discovered by Rolling Stone
editor David Fricke
at the SPOT festival, and his rave review of the duo immediately resulted in a number of offers from major labels. Unofficially, the band discovered that David Fricke would be present at the SPOT festival, and they rushed a band together and headed for the festival. The band is managed by Scott Cohen (music business)
and Richard Gottehrer
, who have been with them from the start. Cohen and Gottehrer orchestrated a bidding war for the band which culminated in the $2 million Columbia Records signing in 2002.
Whip It On
was named "Best Rock Album of the Year" at the Danish Music Awards
(Denmark's Grammy
equivalent) on March 1, 2003, while The Raveonettes were picked by Rolling Stone
and Q Magazine as being among the harbingers of the "Next Wave" of contemporary music.

This was their first album in which Sharin Foo did not play bass; instead, The Raveonettes added bass player Anders Christensen, who had toured with seminal jazz drummer Paul Motian, amongst others. Christensen recorded on the album and toured with the band. At the end of the 2005 tour, guitar player Manoj Ramdas left the band to concentrate on his new band SPEKTR.
