The Raveonettes biography

The Raveonettes is an indie rock, shoegaze, and noise pop duo formed in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2001. The group consists of Sune Rose Wagner, who plays guitar, instruments, and provides vocals, and Sharin Foo, who plays guitar and also sings. Wagner was previously a member of Psyched Up Janis. Their music features close two-part vocal harmonies influenced by The Everly Brothers, combined with hard-edged electric guitar and layers of noise. On April 4, 2011, The Raveonettes released "Raven in the Grave," their fifth studio album, through Vice Records. According to the band's website, Sune Rose Wagner noted that this album differed from their previous work by omitting their signature surf drumbeat and featuring a darker tone without "real sunshine." Sharin Foo described the album's mood as "ethereal defiance," characterizing it as dark but not bleak, reflecting a determined mindset akin to crisis-driven focus, and suitable as a winter soundtrack released in spring.

    What's interesting in Manchester?

    Manchester has become one of the largest cities in Britain over the past hundred years. Although Manchester is a city with a very rich history, the main focus of its development has always been industry. The center is almost entirely furnished with warehouses and factory buildings, entangled with a network of canals and old railway bridges. It is quite natural that no one gave such kindness to the reduction of production: in the former shops now open fashionable bars, in factory warehouses - designer shops, and under the old bridges "settled" nightclubs. It was for the active nightlife of the city and got its middle name - Madchester.
