The Hives return to NYC, bring amazing new record, and huge neon sign.

March 8, 2008

For the last two (SOLD OUT) nights I’ve had the pleasure of photographing our favorite Swedish mega-rock-and-roll-superstars, The Hives. Their tour with The Donnas is nearing a close, and their show couldn’t possibly be any more captivating, tightly played or ROCKING. Whatever “it” is, these guys have it, and then some. On Thursday night, I rushed from the UWS (Nick Cave show-see previous post) all the way down to Williamsburg to catch a crowded yet intimate, sweaty show with the charming Swedes at MHOW. I actually thought the floor would collapse at one point during “Tick Tick Boom”. Afterwards we went to local bar, K&M for a few Kronenbourgs and a dance party! Last night (Friday) was all the excitement and rocking of the night before, x1,000, or a few extra thousand people at Terminal 5. There are a ton of photos in this post…try not to get any drool on your keyboard. ( :
