SXSW scene: The Raveonettes at Red-Eyed Fly
Even though they’re playing close to a dozen shows this week — and that’s just the ones that were previously scheduled — getting close to the Raveonettes has been a tough task — lead singer Sune Rose-Wagner even begged off an interview request prior to Thursday’s packed show at Red-Eyed Fly.
Chalk part of that popularity up to the great return to noisy, ghostly rock that is the latest record “Lust, Lust, Lust” (Vice) which the crowd that began swelling an hour prior got to hear lots of. Doing business as a three piece these days - Rose Wagner, primary member Sharin Foo and a female drummer - the Danes sounded great on new tunes like the somehow optimistic “Dead Sound.” They’re worth your time, especially since they seem to be on a quest to play every club and street corner in Austin these week. Just make sure to get there early.
