Saturday Song # 4

Featured track: Love In A Trash Can
The Raveonettes - the "Rave On" element in their name, a nod to the Buddy Holly song of that name - 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 (think early Kinks). Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of '50s and '60s rock with intense electric instrumentation with driving beats. The duo met in Copenhagen and after forming the band, began recording the album, Whip It On. It was named "Best Rock Album of the Year" at the Danish Music Awards (Denmark's Grammy equivalent) on 1 March 2003.
