Been there...waited for so long!I'm a happy man now,haha.No really,awesome band!!!If you like the velvet underground,suicide,the jesus and mary chain-there's only one band today that fuses those influences (or legends,perhaps?) in the right way,and still sounds like themselves!!!I just thought I'd share some love with you people!Too bad the video is so short :(

Granted I only have their latest album, I really like The Raveonettes. I'd really like to check out their earlier material. "Dead Sound" is real groovy. :rock:

I'd say it's more copied than fused :idk:
Hehe, seriously tho, it sounds like a fun enough band. Sometimes the evolution of music just feels like it goes so slow. I know, I know, everyone can't be the new john cage and music is supposed to be fun. I'm having a complaining day, or morning.

Hey PumpkinPieces and basti moon!
I strongly recommend their first album,from there on,it's all fair game.The first one is angry and ultra fuzzy...speaking of legends' copycats,there are plenty,and not good at all for me,I really can't stand BRMC and similar bands...but the raveonettes RAVE ON and have their own thing goin'&sound so fucking fresh!Really,get their albums,I'm not into happy music,but I really rate them.They were the support group that night,I really didn't care too much for cypress hill,or the franz ferdinand.Left right after the raveonettes...But I've seen cypress hill on exit fest a few years ago,so hip hop fans-don't hate!
The jesus and mary chain fused phil spector/spectre's wall of sound,beach boys' innocent pop melodies and buried them with sheets of feedback that the velvet underground celebrated...so,today,I think there will not be the new Cage,or La Monte Young,or the new Can...it's all been played thru almost any guitar in this world of ours...Steve Shelley of SY once said that there are no new things to be played,there's only new people that bring
a new take on old stuff (or something like that,but i guess I didn't miss the point).Rock on!
