For two (SOLD OUT) nights last week, I 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! Friday night was all the excitement and rocking of the night before, x1,000 at Terminal 5. There are a ton of photos in this post...try not to get any drool on your keyboard. ( :
