The Raveonettes
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
When The Raveonettes released their debut album, "Whip it On!" in 2002, there was quite a buzz around the Danish duo. With its dogmatic concept, a la Lars Von Trier/Dogma ’95, and a razor-sharp sound, Whip It On! kicked off the biggest rock event in recent Danish history.
After 20 years, "Whip it On!" sounds just as precise and uncompromising. After a 5-year concert hiatus, Sune and Sharin are again cracking the whip with a series of anniversary concerts.
Sune Rose Wagner (guitar and vocals) and Sharin Foo (bass, guitar and vocals) drew inspiration from 1950s American Rock'n'roll, 60s girl groups and the surf guitar sound from California. Back in the Noughties, they were part of the new garage rock movement that featured bands like The Strokes, The Hives and The White Stripes. Their unique contribution was especially Wagner and Foo's 'vocal candy': the compressed, modal, sweet boy/girl harmonies in stark contrast to an explosive and dissonant sound and that peculiar feeling of surfing in the rain.
