It may have been record freezing cold temperatures in New York City last night, but it could not get cooler inside Webster Hall where Danish group THE RAVEONETTES headlined.Nickel Eye opened for The Raveonettes at Webster Hall in NYC last night (1/16). More pictures and the Raveonettes setlist, below...Guitarist/vocalist Sune Rose Wagner and his cohort, the striking Sharin Foo [(who is now a mother)](also on guitars/vocals), brilliantly served their sound to a hungry audience. That sound being the trashy love child of early American rock and roll and distorted post-punk - plenty of feedback please.
Unlike previous U.S. tours which took a much more minimalist approach, with Sune and Sharin taking turns on guitars and drums, on this go they brought a four piece band on the road to strengthen their towering wall of sound.
The set tended to focus on their latest release, last year's Lust Lust Lust. However, the band did touch upon tracks from earlier albums such as 2002's EP Whip It On and 2005's homage to classic rock and pop from decades past, Pretty in Black. Highlights from the night included the girl group style of "Dead Sound" and "Love in a Trashcan" to the toe-tapping electro rock of "Twilight." They ended the night with an encore of the oh-so-sexy "Aly, Walk With Me". [Rabbit Stew]

My favorite part is how the guitarist was drinking straight from a JD bottle, like he was a badass.
Truth be told, he was a bit of a badass, but I don't think that's a very authentic move.
Here's my blog about kittens and Animal Collective:

No pictures of the bassist?!? Is Chris La Putt gay?
Posted by Anonymous | January 17, 2009 6:35 PM
calling someone gay on the internet because they didn't take someone's picture - stay classy 6:35.

What? No mention of Zaza who opened the show? Didn't know anything about them going in and thought they put on a very impressive, solid set.

The show was too short and the sound at webster hall sucked as usual.

I saw The Raveonettes at Bowery Ballroom once and Sune smoked cigarettes on stage. Did he do that here?

Show was really good. Dance party afterwards in the studio was fun too. Yea!

Zaza was great! more please!

Nickel Eye would've been much more appropriate playing some college dive where drunk sorority chicks dance on the bar while their frat boy counterparts drop GHB in their cranberry and vodkas. If that douche from the strokes wasn't in this band no one would be giving these guys a second thought.
Anyway, Zaza was pretty impressive and were a great warm up for the Raveonettes. I liked how they rocked the JAMC stand up drummer bit. The Raveonettes were excellent. Vocals were dead on and the guitars sounded huge. Great show.

Great photos! Love the Raveonettes and love Zaza. Wish I could have been there.

Just got to see the Raveonettes again here in LA and loved them as much if not more than the first time. Excellent pictures in this post!
