Quote the Raveonettes, "We Have More."

Over the past ten years much has changed in the music scene. Garage came in and then went out, music goers started dancing and stopped shoe gazing, Vinyl came back in a big way and large scale chains like Tower Records closed their doors because people stopped buying CDs and and started downloading. The bands of the decade ushered in a return to guitars and simple hooks like The Strokes and The White Stripes. Sadly these and other popular rock acts that defined the decade had little to no longevity and either blew their load with one great recording or disbanded altogether. Really, there are few groups from the beginning of the decade that are still together and making recordings. In our opinion the '00s may be remembered as a time when bands came in and out of vogue as quickly as Bush went to war.

One band that managed to remain in our consciousness and keep us switched on was The Raveonettes. These two Danish rockers catapulted to fame in 2002 with their fuzzed-out, hooky single Attack of the Ghostriders. Instead of making just one great record that is imprinted on the minds of many they released four totally solid albums and have recorded with the likes of The Crystal's Ronnie Spector, The Velvet Underground's Maureen Tucker and Suicide's Martin Rev. They continue to keep their fresh perspective on their soon-to-be-released album Raven in the Grave; an album chalk full of blissed-out, melancholy songs of longing that bring lead singer Sharon Foo's vocals to the top of the mix amidst a bevy of swelling guitars and this time around a shift to more lackadaisical rhythms. Tonight they take the stage at Lincoln Hall and we just can't wait to see what this tour has to offer.
