I looked foreward to this concert after having heard so much in the media about this Danish wonder and having listened to their two albums for a long time.
I was lucky that Sharin put me on the guest list and procured a photo pass for me. Unfunately the permission to work up front only hold good during the three opening songs, though I had a written permission from Sharin to make pictures throughout the concert.
Never mind, the major problem was that The Raveonettes played the entire concert with red dark-room illuminant as the only spotlight! What a nightmare for a photographer ... So I had a lot of work of picture treatement in PhotoShop at least to get some images to show. And that's why some of the pics looks a little "overcooked".

The charismatic duo, Sune and Sharin, made a professional and loud appearence, showing their capacity to transform noise into beauty. With their simple B-Major chords, we experienced very the essence of rock music raised to Art. You can call it the Art of Noise. In my opinion the event would have improved by a couple of songs played merely by Sune on guitar and Sharin on vocals, as they have practiced at a number of concerts recently. But maybe it's only me being too old. Anyway, it was a great evening, attented by an entusiastic audience, which counted pretty many celebrities from the Danish music scene.
