The Raveonettes @ The Phoenix – April 2, 2011

Having begun their tour on March 30 in Philadelphia, PA, The Raveonettes’ stop in Toronto was only the fourth show in.  With five full-length albums under their belt (their latest album, Raven in the Grave, comes out April 5), along with numerous EPs and dozens of b-sides to boot (a b-sides album is in the works!), the Raveonettes have proven their salt with a reliable and crowd-pleasing catalogue of retro-tinged noise-pop.

Judging from the enthusiastic crowd that filled the Phoenix, if the audience was unfamiliar or bored with the new songs, they definitely didn’t show it.  Raveonettes fans can always count on their band to give them reverb-drenched danceable pop tunes with dark lyrics.

Sparkling in a sequined black polka dot dress, vocalist/bassist Sharin Foo was the first to step on stage to loud cheers and applause.  The band launched into “Recharge & Revolt,” the first single off of Raven in the Grave.  A moment later, vocalist/guitarist Sune Rose Wagner, wearing a white t-shirt, black skinny jeans and leopard-print hi-top sneakers, appeared on stage to deliver his vocals. It was evident that the band was in fine form.

Two drummers and a second guitarist rounded out the band and like a well-oiled machine; they delivered new songs and older songs with minimal banter in between. Older favourites included “Noisy Summer,” “The Love Gang,” “Dead Sound,” “Love in a Trashcan” and “Attack of the Ghost Riders.” Re-emerging for a two-song encore, the Raveonettes concluded their set with the hypnotic and bass-driven, “Aly, Walk With Me” from third album Lust Lust Lust.

The magic of Sune’s guitar playing, paired with the sweet boy-girl harmonies between Sharin and Sune, is truly what makes The Raveonettes’ live show so entertaining and magnetic.
