The Hives

In this electrifying performance captured on September 8, 2012, at KEXP's broadcast during MusicfestNW, The Hives whipped up a storm with their energetic track "Come On." This live recording came a little over a year after their fourth studio album, "Lex Hives," which dropped in June 2012. Not only did this album mark a triumphant return after a five-year hiatus, but it also showcased the band's classic garage rock sound, meshing with punk influences while cleverly dialing up their signature swagger. What's particularly fascinating about this KEXP session is how it highlights the band's raw energy and tight musicianship in an intimate venue like the Wonder Ballroom. With their playful banter and electrifying presence, The Hives remind us why they're such a staple in the rock scene, captivating audiences every single time.
