Fuzzy noir pop duo The Raveonettes just released their Into the Night EP, a four-song stopover between their 2011 album Raven in the Grave and their next full-length. They kick-off a seven-date Australian tour tonight, hitting Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, and Newcastle until May 25.
