The Raveonettes
Band Copenhagen Denmark Formed 2000
The Raveonettes formed in 2000 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Raveonettes has 28 chart appearances on 21 radio countdowns from 11 stations on RockLists, spanning 2003–2022. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Love in a Trashcan”, which appears on 12 lists with a best position of #65. The station that charted The Raveonettes most often is CD101 (Columbus, OH), with 17 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2004.
The Raveonettes are a Copenhagen duo, Sune Rose Wagner handling guitar and singing, Sharin Foo playing bass and guitar and singing too, and they've built a whole sound out of one collision: the sweet, stacked boy-girl harmonies of the Everly Brothers slammed against a wall of electric noise that owes plenty to the Velvet Underground. The songs are built as plainly as '50s and '60s rock was, but the guitars scream, the beats drive, and the stories often run pitch black: crime, drugs, murder, lust and betrayal, sung like lullabies.
The Whip It On EP in 2002 kicked it off with "Attack of the Ghost Riders", and Chain Gang of Love in 2003 brought "That Great Love Sound", all fuzz and swoon. Pretty in Black in 2005 cleaned up the reverb-soaked racket a little and let the sock-hop melodies shine through on "Love in a Trashcan", and In and out of Control, in 2009, came armed with "Last Dance". Back home in Denmark they picked up a Robert Award for Best Song in 2006.
