They are Danish. They are fairly prolific. They deal in fuzzed-out garage rock and have better haircuts than you. They are probably mentioned in the headline to this story.

By this point, you have probably realized that I am speaking about The Raveonettes. The enviably-named Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner are getting ready to start work on their next full-length, but first they wanna play a few shows, rock a little bit, and just generally ensure that 2009 adequately kicks out the jams.

Their plan is simple, but effective: play a few shows on the East Coast, play a few shows on the West Coast. Then stay off the road, hunker down, write some feedback-drenched, ’60s-inflected rock songs, and then, when the moment is right, release a studio album in September 2009 with the help of an as yet unnamed "genius producer." (My suggestion: GET TIMBALAND. He can make anything sound good! And he always finds the craziest Bollywood samples!) So far, all of this is very much in the future, but these tourdates are fast approaching, so if you wanna see Sharin and Sune pre-Timberlake/Furtado guest appearance, check out one of these shows:
