SWEDISH INVASION: THE HIVES ARE BACK!!!

Mark your calendars and tell all your friends (but not until I get my ticket first)!!!
The Hives will be back in town February 28th, 2008!!!
Unlike last time when they opened for Maroon 5 at the Xcel, they will be playing at First Avenue (in the main room of course) !!!

In case you are not familiar with the cute boys from Sweeden, The Hives started in Fagersta, Sweeden in 1993 as your typical garage band. It wasn't until 1997 with their release of Barely Legal that they started to tour. The breakthrough album that put the band on the map Veni Vidi Vicious in 2000 - they had a radio hit "Hate to say I Told you so" and the other hits from the album ("Main Offender" and "Supply and Demand") were used in movies and commercials.

Taking an extended hiatus is nothing new to the Hives, so after taking a break after extensively touring through the new millennium, the band released The Black and White Album in 2007 before starting their tour with maroon 5 in the fall of the same year.

The Hives are back, playing on a small stage in 2008!


And yes, you can rest assured that you will see them in their signature black and white suits!



See you at the show!

The Hives @ First Avenue 701 1st Avenue North, Door at 6 pm, 18+
