After a quick glance of The Raveonettes' Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo you get the feeling that they live in a time warp. Both Wagner and Foo don vintage-looking rags and haircuts; bulletproof from the current trend of sloppy, neon-clad indie kids who spend most of their weekend window-shopping at American Apparel. Once they engage their Fender Jazzmaster guitars the surface-level conversation becomes incoherent thanks to echoes of Spector-esque reverb, waves of distortion and boy-girl vocals that hark back to the 1950s (imagine Buddy Holly with a distortion pedal fronting The Ronettes). The Raveonettes, however, may follow the path of their peers closely, but the Danish-bred duo's live set is as unique as it gets.

Several albums and EPs later the band has moved to the U.S. (Foo in Los Angeles, Wagner in New York), completing their best album to date. Lust, Lust, Lust is decadent, loud, sweet and sexy from start to finish. Most fans would agree that the material and recording process is not much different than their past full-lengths, but the songs on Lust are bigger and razor-sharp compared to anything they've done.

"The way that we use noise is basically instead of playing a guitar solo or something we'll just play what I call a noise solo. It's in the same style Sonic Youth would," said Sune Rose Wagner when talking to Buzznet.

After a dynamite set of classics like "Love in a Trashcan," "Attack of the Ghost Riders," and "That Great Love Sound," plus the new hits "Aly Walk with Me" and the fuzzy fever of "You Want the Candy," all physical impressions fly out the door. Top that off with a cover of Stereolab's "French Disko" and you've got an unstoppable band in its prime.

The opening band was no slouch either. Be Your Own Pet, who is known for their raucous, bruising live performances, were an excellent choice as openers. They pedaled through bangers like "Bicycle, Bicycle, You Are My Bicycle" and their controversial doo-wap track, "Becky." Maybe you didn't hear the news today; their record label Universal Music cut the track, and two more, from their forthcoming album Get Awkward. Some of their lyrics may be interpreted as "too violent", but I'd let these kids babysit a group of toddlers any day.
