The Raveonettes’ Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo played a true-to-record, low-gloss, blur-rock that sometimes sounded like the Sundays and sometimes like Loaded-era Velvet Underground the other night at San Francisco’s Bimbo’s 365. Strapped with jazzmasters and vintage pedals, they opened with Gone Forever from this year’s In And Out Of Control.

During the show, Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo would alternate between guitars, bass, and drums. The Beat Dies featured a scorching fuzz tremolo picked ending while Dead Sound made a fun addition to the already flowing setlist.

Mostly new tracks from the band’s latest album were played such as great versions of Last Dance, Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed), Break Up Girls, and towards the end of their set; Suicide, Aly as well as old faves from all three previous albums (Lust Lust Lust, Whip It On, Chain Gang of Love and Pretty In Black).

The band performed their infectious art-wave songs to a packed and appreciative crowd. A very solid show from the group that has delivered an equally solid album.
