The Raveonettes in Session at NPR

World Cafe, May 7, 2008 - The Danish duo The Raveonettes seemed like a bit of a novelty act at first, mixing '50s and '60s rock with harmonies inspired by The Everly Brothers and The Ronettes. But the band is no mere throwback, with an increasingly appealing and timeless rock catalog. In a session with Michaela Majoun on the World Cafe, the band plays songs from it's new album, Lust Lust Lust.

After a critically acclaimed and award-winning debut with 2002's Whip It On, The Raveonettes' profile shrunk a bit with the release of 2003's Chain Gang of Love and 2005's Pretty in Black. But a great new disc, this year's Lust Lust Lust, is quickly making up for lost time: "Aly, Walk with Me" sounds like an instant smash, and the rest of the album follows in its enjoyably fuzzed-out footsteps.

In other Raveonettes news, Sharin Foo has a bun in the oven:

Sharin's Good news/Bad news

Good news is I am pregnant and expecting a baby in September. Bad news is I was planning on touring through the summer, but have been strongly advised by my doctor to stay at home for the remainder of the pregnancy for the health of the baby and myself. So no more traveling and playing shows for me this year.

Unfortunately we have had to cancel our show in Krakow this weekend, a show that was really on my personal list of most anticipated experiences. But Sune & I are working on a solution to keep The Raveonettes music out there and play the remainder of the shows we have booked throughout the summer, even without me! Stay tuned.
