This Saturday‘s gonna be so much fun!

Our friends over at ION Magazine are celebrating their 8 Year Anniversary by having a big party in a renovated East Van warehouse space with a very special and rare DJ set by The Raveonettes!

Deejays Trevor Risk, Tyler Quarles, and Winnie’s own Christian Flores will also be providing their music selections for the night and apparently there will be lots of vodka and beer.

This kind of party comes together only once every four years or something, so don’t be mad if you miss it and all your friends are talking about it. Now put together your fanciest outfit, and we’ll see you on Saturday. So excited!

Check back each week for a new So, You Think You Know Me interview. In case you missed last weeks you can click here to get to know Twin Shadow.

The Raveonettes make beautiful music, indelibly marked by darkness. They would probably be a much bigger band, if they “sold out” and wrote bubblegum lyrics to match their haunting melodies.

I like to think of them as a long lost soundtrack to a David Lynch project.

The Raveonettes on the interview show This is my chat with Sune Rose Wagner (the guy in the band). I don’t know if the Danes are known for being succinct and frank, but Sune certainly is both.

The Raveonettes “Last Dance” A beautiful song about a relationship with a drug addict. See what I mean about an undeniable edge?

The Raveonettes “My Boyfriend’s Back” (The Angels cover) This cover was done for a video game, but Sune and Sharin Foo would much rather make their own stuff.
