组合资料
Raveonettes 是来自丹麦的二人另类摇滚组合,Sune Rose Wagner在乐队中担任吉他手,乐器和主音的角色,Sharin Foo则弹奏贝斯,同时也是另外一个主音。他们的音乐受到了The Everly Brothers很大的启发,特点非常突出——通过两个不同人声的转换融合,加上尖利的吉他噪音,形成强大的音墙效果。他们的音乐中有那种五六十年代才有的简单的和弦,同时兼具激烈的电气效果。你也可以说他们非常像“耶稣和玛利亚锁链”。充满穿越感的节拍,歌词就像永远黑暗的抒情诗,这一点又非常像“地下丝绒”乐队。
专辑《Whip it on》在2003年3月1日的“丹麦音乐大奖”上被评为了“年度最佳摇滚专辑”,这个奖相当于“丹麦的格莱美”。
之后乐队发行了四张录音室专辑,乐队首张专辑《Chain Gang of Love》上市后登陆丹麦专辑销量排行榜第五名,第二张专辑《Pretty in Black》上市后登陆丹麦专辑销量排行榜第三名,第四张专辑《In and Out of Control》上市后登陆丹麦专辑销量排行榜第五名。
2006年,《Blender》杂志评选Sharin Foo为摇滚史上最热辣的女性形象,这个名单还同时包括Courtney Love, Joan Jett和 Liz Phair.
《In and out of control》是乐队的第四张专辑,在2009年6月发行。《Last Dance》和《Suicide》两首曲目出现在了热门美剧《Gossip Girl》第三季的原声合辑中。

The Raveonettes are Ea Danish indie rock duo, consisting of Sune Rose Wagner (born 7 October 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. Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of 1950s and 1960s 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.
The duo met in Copenhagen 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’ on the seminal Danish Crunchy Frog label, 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 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 1 March 2003, while The Raveonettes were picked by ‘Rolling Stone’ and ‘Q Magazine’ as being among the harbingers of the &Next Wave& of contemporary music.
In 2006, ‘Blender’ named Sharin Foo one of rock's hottest women, alongside Courtney Love, Joan Jett, and Liz Phair.
The duo's third studio album, ‘Lust Lust Lust’, was released in November 2007 in Europe and February 2008 in the U.S. The album received generally positive reviews, with the ‘NME's Hardeep Phull describing it as &their most engrossing album.&
In December 2008, Sune Rose Wagner released a solo album, simply titled ‘Sune Rose Wagner’. All of the songs are sung in his native language of Danish.
The Raveonettes' fourth album, ‘In and Out of Control’, was released 6 October 2009, with &Last Dance& released as the lead-off single. The album was co-written and produced by Thomas Troelsen. Both &Last Dance& and &Suicide&, another song from the album, have been featured on The CW's ‘Gossip Girl’.
‘Raven in the Grave’, The Raveonettes fifth album, was released 4 April 2011. The album has produced three singles to date.
The duo released a new album, titled Observator, on 11 September 2012.The lead single 'Observations' was released 25 June. The second single 'She Owns the Streets' was released 9 July.
‘Pe'ahi was &surprise& released 22 July 2014.
In every month of 2016 the band are recording and releasing a new song. This is being dubbed the 'Anti-Album'.
