Sharin Foo will have her sister Loui stand in for her with The Raveonettes while she sits out of touring during the remainder of her pregnancy. Loui directed the band's video for "Aly walk with me" and is also involved with the art/music collective Ohhmarymary.

Sharin Foo of The Raveonettes is pregnant and thus will be sitting out the remainder of the year's tourdates. The band does promise to continue on without her for the time being, but has not announced any details as to how they plan on doing it just yet.

The Raveonettes have wrapped up their US tour and are now working on recording three new 3-4 track EPs for release this coming fall, the first due in September.
