The Raveonettes
 

Hmmm no thread about them yet?

Anyway i`ve liked them for a few years now. Their debut mini album was awesome. Shame their first full album was a huge dissapointment.

Anyway I finally heard the new album today even though I bought it weeks ago (I lost it during a tidy up campaign) and it`s rather good. Nice to see they actually bothered to write more than one song for this album.

I think i`ll make Love In A Trashcan my summer anthem , well that and Trouble With Dreams by Eels anyway.

I always overlook them; I think it has something to do with their name.
But, Love in a Trashcan has such a catchy beat.

And dude, I *LOVE* the Eels. They've always been such a good band. I'm gonna remember to check out that double disc.

I really like The Raveonettes. I downloaded their cd and it's really good, "Love In A Trashcan" is really fun. So yes, I seem to think they're a good band.

haha!

Only have the single from the new album so far but plan to get LP soon...

I loved Whip It On and Chain Gang of Love, but hated Pretty In Black.

I quite like them... the Jesus & Mary Chain looks with some almost Pop songs... odd mix, but I like it :)

Are you saying the Jesus & Mary Chain didn`t have pop songs? :mad:

FIGHT!!!!!!!!

lol - uh no.. .just not AS pop maybe...

I'm a bigger JAMC fan than you - get over it

;)

Nobody on this board is a bigger JAMC fan than me ;)

I beg to differ..

No, you probably are. But, I love J&MC.

I did a search on them , there are 27 posts mentioning them 17 are mine & I was also the first to mention them on the boards....so there ;)

Ok - gloves are off! Here's my JAMC stuff/history...

CDs
All the regular albums of course
The JAMC Live in Concert (released 2003)
Barbed Wire Kisses
Sound of Speed EP (Japan)
Sound of Speed (Compliation
JAMC - Complete Peel Session
10 Smash Hits
also have a 5 cd singles, 2 vhs tapes and a 3 vinyl singles (the most prized being the 'Far Gone And Out' boxed 12'' with the dance mix - I LOVE that remix)

Seen them live 3 times. Lollopolooza 2 (I WAS the mosh pit for their first couple songs), their private Sub-Pop relase party in Seattle for Munki (they were drunk and didn't know most their songs - lol. Friend got me and my bro (also a huge fan - in fact he gave me psychocandy when i was 13 and it scared me at the time) tix for this) and saw them headline at the Showbox in Seattle mid 90's (I hate RocknRoll tour I think).

FYI - Jim Reid is touring right now - http://jimreid.amniisia.com/ I plan to see him in Oxford...

shut up :(

sorry - but hopefully you didn't know about Jim touring... i'm looking VERY forward to that!

Seen Tom Hingley (inspiral carpets) Jim Bob (Carter USM) each do solo acoustic shows and both were GREAT!!

I live in the channel islands , I don`t know about ANYONE touring :(

hmm... a trip to london maybe?!

sorry - i forgot you lived that far out... maybe time to move?! :)

Well I go to London every so often but it means I have to part with about £400 everytime I want to see a gig

is that all?! damn!

;)

bump, I leave for them in 10 minutes my friends and I got free tickets. Who/what do they sound like? QUICKQUICKQUICK

Yeah they eat ****ing face, someone get me albums now please.

My cousin drums for them. I think they might have possibly broken up as the vocalist is setting up a label and my cousin returned to Denmark. I actually just started listening to them this week and really dig it. Back when I was like eight they sent me posters, pics, autographed stuff, and cds. But I thought the music was annoying because I listened to Britney Spears so I trashed the stuff eventually. BUT I really dig em now. I didn't know people had actually heard of them. I thought they were just nobodies in Denmark. Cool!

Lucky... I don't know any well known musicians. Kinda sucks that they had their tour bus stolen and shit...

They did? I didn't hear about that haha.
Looked it up and it turns out I think everyone in the band quit except the two vocalists who are just a duo group now.

Lucky punch
 

I really think their albums have been a disapointment.

The started out with a singel that rocked(i cant remember the name), But since then its gone down hill.

I had such high expectations from these artists from my country :-)

Didn't they start off as a duo with a drum machine anyway?

I loved Whip It On. Its pretty high up on my favourites list but I never bothered after that. I heard a few tracks from their first full length after Whip It On and wasnt that bothered and the interest slowly faded. I might have to give them another go.

I think so. The Chain Gang of Love and Pretty In Black were my cousin though, Jakob Hoyer. But now he plays for some Danish jazz act that I think might be fairly recognized. I'll find out. He was never really into The Raveonettes to tell the truth. Just needed to fund his jazz obsession.

The new album is oot. It's pretty catchy, 'specially Bang! and Breaking into cars. Makes me want to hear their other stuff.

I heard some Raveoneettes on Triple J radio back when I was living in Australia... I thought they were pretty decent! Wasn't really sure what became of them though... however it seems like they *might* have continued on in some capacity!

I can't stop listening to this album. Certainly one of the most infectious this year.

Wow, is it THAT good? I'll put 'em on my list of future bands to check out....

I'm a major pop whore. If you're into pop music at all you'll love it. People who like their earlier, noisier work aren't that thrilled about it though...:\

I grabbed 'Lust Lust Lust' a little over a week ago and was pulled in by the heavy weight, and distorted guitar. I really like the album. Sounds like you think this next album ditches some of those elements? I'll have to see if 'In and Out...' agrees with me...

Yeah, there's really just one "noisier" song on it. They've been drifting towards this "poppier" sound with the two 2008 EPs...

That might just rule me out then. I think i'm gonna give it a shot anyway.

Sometimes there's nothing greater than a good catchy pop song..... if it's done well, of course... these guys might just be the kinda band for that!

I really like their new album, but it more or less completely disposes of the noise aspects of their sound. It's fantastic pop though, and Gone Forever and Last Dance are two of my favorite songs to listen to when I feel like **** and can't do upbeat music. I think I might enjoy it more if the beginning of this year had played out a bit differently.

I listened to the new one through and it's pretty decent. I may even prefer it to Lust, Lust, Lust.

I saw the Raveonettes at the San Diego Miller Lite Independence Jam 4-5 years ago and they were amazing! So much energy.

I'm seeing them this Saturday. They're playing with the Black Angels (don't know them). But I am extremely excited. Unfortunatly I don't think my cousin will be drumming with them that day. But I think he still plays whenever they tour Denmark.
Also, they better play a few songs off Lust Lust Lust. That album is my obsession. I would want them to play Hallucinations, Lust, Dead Sound, The Candy, and The Beat Dies. Hell actually I love all the songs off that album.
