Saturday, I had a date with a sexy Swede. Granted, he didn't know we had an appointment but he and his mates showed up none the less. I, and several hundred of my closest friends, gathered for The Hives at the Showbox SODO in Seattle. First, however, I had to endure Holy Ghost Revival. I got a serious casino Axel Rose impersonator vibe from the lead singer. Just in case you're wondering, that’s not a good thing. The best part of their set was when he leapt out into the crowd…and hit the floor. All was good; I don’t think he even felt the fall.Thankfully, their set was short and out came The Donnas. 
These girls have it all: looks, energy, talent, and wild flippy hair. 
I really wish I could have brought my 8 year old daughter to see them. She’s taking guitar lessions and class would have been in session for a lesson in cool, a lesson in ??RAWK??. They were terrific and set the stage for the headliners.
One of my guilty music pleasures, Sweden’s The Hives hit the stage hard and gave everything they had to the performance. Huge, ??huge, HUGE?? energy and massive amounts of charisma poured onto the audience, who lapped it up like cats to cream. It doesn’t hurt that lead singer, Pelle Almqvist is lovely to look at. Yummmmmmmm. 
They rocked until there was nothing left to rock. Drenched in sweat, they blew me...uh...the crowd..kisses and left us exhilirated. 
Whooooo weeeeee. What fun we had.All in all…a great show, a great night. My right ear is still ringing, which is a sign of a good concert (although I do hope it stops soon). The only low point was my lack of shoe pictures. The damn kids kept jiggling my arm. I’ll try harder next time--which is Tuesday and A Place to Bury Strangers. Weeeeeeeee!!!! Life is good.
