The Raveonettes Look Good While Performing "Aly, Walk With Me" For Letterman
The track that first Dropped late last year -- and got an ambulatory video early this one -- finally got its live, televised closeup last night on Letterman. "Finally" because there's few bands better built for the motion picture cameras than the Raveonettes. Remember being in middle school and occasionally falling in love with a random band you'd see on late night TV? Not all indie stars are able to put the full thrust of their appeal into three-and-a-half minutes of television (i.e. not all are quite so telegenic), but the Raveonettes smoky-cool sting last night just may have been enough to convince some mall punk fan to switch up the style a bit, therebytaking their first baby step on the march towards discovering Psychocandy. And that's a very good thing. Dave loves it (also we think he loves Sharin).

I love the Raveonettes. Great music and great presence.
Score = 1
they're really doing the early JAMC thing now. especially with that drummer. they seem to do it as an homage, or a tip of the hat more than a rip off. so it doesn't offend me.

I don't know if it was the word "walk" in the title of the song, the leather jacket, or the slow, hypnotic vocals leading into the wall of noise, but i kept thinking there was a very distinct Lou Reed feel to this.

Does anyone know about their show tonight? Specifically, whether Glasvegas is opening?

Come on.. they are lip syncing... No one can play a four note song and that girl in the back can't keep time. Just kidding.... They have a minimalist presence but it works in a world were most bands over do it.

They finally got on Letterman! I LOVE this band!

I like The Raveonettes but the new album is kinda over rated...this is the best song on LustLustLust, mostly because it doesn't sound like every other song
