Raveonettes at the Henry Fonda in Los Angeles, January 24, 2009

I really like this band, who apparently is obsessed with the Everly Brothers, and I was super happy to be going to their show last Saturday — and actually, I ended up liking them even more than that. They’re weirdly shy, but generate so much sound, all reverby and space-echoey, that their music ends up being an excellent stand-in for whatever charismatic personality they might lack.

And maybe that sounds a bit too harsh. I don’t need David Lee Roth every time I see a concert. They were pretty real, pretty enthusiastic about what they were playing, and they presented a pretty full sound very very well with not too many people on stage. With the mysterious, foggy, chilly and noir ambience they cultivated sonically on stage, I was left wondering… is David Lynch somewhere in the audience.

If they come to your neck of the woods, go and check them out for sure.
