Win Tickets To See The Hives At The 9:30 Club!

by | Nov 18, 2013 | MUSIC

The Hives are the law, and not going to see their show is a crime! I have seen these Swedish rock n’ rollers live on multiple occasions, and every time, I have had a blast. With the fearsome fivesome returning to America this December to continue spreading the word about their unjustly overlooked 2012 album Lex Hives, any of you who have not yet managed to see The Hives live really must right that wrong immediately!

The Hives are the law, and not going to see their show is a crime! I have seen these Swedish rock n’ rollers live on multiple occasions, and every time, I have had a blast. With the fearsome fivesome returning to America this December to continue spreading the word about their unjustly overlooked 2012 album Lex Hives, any of you who have not yet managed to see The Hives live really must right that wrong immediately! While the band’s sound has expanded to some extent, with the incorporation of horns and even the occasional vocoder, the driving rock n’ roll power that has always been their fundamental strength is still very much present and accounted for. You can see that on this live performance of Lex Hives‘ single “Go Right Ahead,” which was recorded in a crowded studio but still manages to incorporate at least a little of the flair and pizzazz the Hives always bring to the live environment:

So that’s just a little bit of what’s in store for you when The Hives arrive at DC’s 9:30 Club on Tuesday, December 10. Do you want to shake, scream, shout, and surrender yourself to the awesome power of rock n’ roll? You know you do! We’ll see you there.

WHAT: The Hives Take Over DC!
WHERE: 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW, Washington DC
WHEN: Tuesday, December 10, Doors open at 7 PM
