According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 20 July 2010 Arson back! Holy Mother of Magsjuka- Nick Arson is back!!! The fever and the tummy aches and the cramps and vomiting had me in a chokehold and a straight jacket. I was unable to strike back with any sort of means and was forced into bed for a full week. Sorry bout cancelling shows on y'all: Borlänge, France and Poland- you know how much I would have loved to be there. I heard an eagle whisper in my ear however that Wolverine B. did his part and served you chilled riffs in gold pints with straws of opal on silver plates. Not bad for a filler-inner eh?! But now to public joy and cheer- The Master of the Telecaster, The Main Garcon of Arson, The True Galore Troubadour and The Hot Son Who Was Born Out of a Shotgun - Yours Truly, Nick Arson is back in the outfit. And hey! I'm not taking it off until 2015. Until then- Sail on! - Arson

Here's the funny video!!! Pelle's shaking ;D

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 15 July 2010 Last Week... So here's what happened last weekend: We were playing in Borlänge Thursday when Nicholaus Arson sends some smoke signals from his home in Fagersta saying he can not make the show due to POISONING! Possibly (maybe even probably) by a competing band at the Peace and Love Festival. "Do the Hives cancel?" I ask. You answer "No!" and you would be correct. Instead, mark the date - on the eighth day of the seventh month in the year of our lord 2010: we got much appreciated and absolutely fantastic help from a man hailing from the deep forests of northern Sweden. He played a huge Gretsch, had a beard and dazzled everybody with his positively nuclear guitar abilities. His name, Wolverine Brandstroem and after a brief search we found him working in a print shop in the infamous Västberga Industriområde striping taxis from black to yellow (yes, taxis are actually black but...

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 30 June 2010 Midsummers Eve Hey there fans, people of the world and all creatures living in our universe: The last weekend was a special one if you happen to be Swedish, at least the Friday was. It was Midsummers Eve, second biggest holiday in Sweden after Christmas. As usual we had more important stuff to do than being at home partying our asses off with friends and family. Instead we played a kick-ass show in London, Hyde Park to more precise. I´ve got to be honest with you though...we did have a party after the show with typical Midsummer food such as herring, new potatoes, Wästgöta kloster ost, and drinks such as snaps and, well, more snaps I guess...we brought everything with us from Sweden so, well done Hives, what a party! Quiz: See if you can spot all of us in the party picture! While we were in London we stopped by Lewis Leathers and got ourselves measured so we can look as good as The Ramones, The C...
