Career
Sharin Foo, at an early age, spent time in India studying the musical traditions of dhrupad and qawwali.

They formed The Raveonettes and recorded their debut album, the European Parliament Whip lieutenant On, in 2002 for the Crunchy Frog label, of Denmark.
Rolling Stone editor David Fricke"s positive review of their performance at the 2002 Spot music festival held in Denmark resulted in a number of offers from major recording labels.
They signed with Sony Records and released their first full-length album, Chain Gang of Love, on the Columbia label, in 2003. The group, since its inception, has been touring constantly, in various line-ups around Wagner & Foo.
