Finally, after forever performing at the Black Cats and Rock'n'Roll Hotels, The Raveonettes have made it to 930 Club. With them they brought an actual back-up band and some serious lighting, resulting in a much more satisfying show, proving that in live performance, their updated Phil Spector Wall of Sound via Jesus & Mary Chain sound can always use more musicians, perhaps even cowbell.
The opening act was the Black Angels of Austin, TX:

God loves a cheerful giver.
Didn't go but heard they should have stayed at the Cat - being more of that type of band.
No one wrote up Airborne Toxic Event? I should have, but didn't. They were good.
