The Raveonettes are born rock stars. With their towering Nordic silhouettes, chiseled cheekbones, disinterested, glassy eyes and all-around effortless cool, they certainly look the part. Nevermind that their signature fuzzy chug-a-lug guitar assaults and heavenly vocals combine the best of Buddy Holly, Suicide and Sonic Youth to flood your helpless head with adrenaline. Instant endorphin overload.
Now, the band that sounds like an endlessly engine-revving anime motorcycle gang, teeth bared in hot pursuit, is in the midst of a mini-tour that wraps up this Friday and Saturday on the West Coast. They've also got a remix record up for free download over at VICE Records! Pick it up, catch 'em in Cali (deets below), check the interview they did over at Elle.com the other day and ask yourself ... WHERE? HAVE? I? BEEN? Rave on!
