Lots of bands change members over the course of their career. But when your act is a two-piece like The Ravonettes, changing 50% of that equation is going to be pretty noticable. Nevertheless, there’s a lot of scratch to be earned on the summer festival season, which is probably why Danish two-piece The Raveonettes won’t taking time off from the road, despite the fact that the half with a uterus, singer/guitarist Sharin Foo, has that particular body part very much full at the moment, thank you very much.
The solution? Recruit Foo’s sister Louise Foo to fill in for mommy-to-be Sharin. This certainly isn’t the first sibling swap in pop music (Lynard Skynard anyone?) but might it irk some of the Rave’s bigger fans? Maybe that’s why they waited until 3:45 PDT on a Friday to release this littlle tidbit of info ala John McCain’s medical records.
And just for a little more weekend mystery—how come Sharin Foo’s personal MySpace page lists her real name as “Louise Sharin Fosberg(Foo)?”
