“Bad music is the devil and I will be your exorcising priest, helpin’ you out!”

TICK TICK BOOM – the Swedes are coming!

Heading to these sunny summer shores for some festival highs,
The Hives will headline two intimate and explosive shows of their very own!
Melbourne, The Forum – Monday December 29
Sydney, The Metro – Tuesday January 6
Tickets on sale Friday October 3

Following on from the Tyrannosauraus Hives era of 2004, The Hives have splashed their bright colours on the world once more with the release of The Black and White Album (Universal).
A musical feast born out of some serious major label cashola and a smorgasbord of top notch Producers, including one Mr Pharrell Williams, The Hives horizons have broadened along with the length of their songs!
Digest the thoughtful words of Frontman Howlin’ Pelle Almqvistand: “The first two Hives records were designed to be played at a 200 capacity club, tops, whereas now we play to 1000s of people. The bigger the crowd, the slower they react, so there’s a natural progression in making the songs longer. When the last row of the audience hears the first chord, it’s already over for the first half of the audience, so basically we’re doing it for the people at the back.”
Get busy amongst the frenetic, über colourful black and white world of Fagersta’s killer bees! Don’t miss The Hives LIVE this summer!

“I know that it has been a long time coming
You bought your tickets, you waited in line
You were walking and now you find yourself running
To get closer to the giant neon sign
Allow me to
Give you a clue
You’re looking at black and white
Seeing our name in lights
Make you feel alright
Baby we’re here all night
We rule the world
This is our world
We rule the world
This is our world
T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S.”
