According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 11 November 2015 SEARCHING FOR THE SAINTS Today me and Dr Johan went to seep in some culture and by that I mean proper Brisbane culture ie The Saints. In the glorious weather we made our way over to the corner of Milton and Petrie where the Saints had their own Club 76 right opposite those days police station. We think we saw the right house if it still stands today otherwise we were at least very close to the actual location. After that we headed over to Brisbanes West end where the Im stranded single was recorded. Since we did not have any idea where that studio was located we just hung around there for a while feeling the atmosphere. In an hour we leave for the QSAC Stadium where we are playing tonight w AC/DC. Life could be worse… Sincerely Arson

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 11 September 2015 NICK ARSON NEW RIDE!!! Ah the sweet feeling of sitting down on the stairs getting creative and semipretentious w some grip tape and a new Hives deck. I reckon my grip tape job scores about a 3 out of 5 on the semi classic grip tape job scale. The deck is the coolest thing I have ever owned and quite possibly the coolest thing ever made. Today was a good day! Affectionately yours Arson

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary. ----------------------- 7 November 2014 FESTIVAL IDEA Hallå där young ones and dumb ones! I have just had my thinking cap on and I think I may have just invented what I may or may not call a rockfestival. "What the F#"k is that?" you may ask. Well then, my foulmouthed curious friend, picture this without trying to shoot the idea down like a clay pigeon, and fly with me here instead for a couple of sentences! Here I go: 1. Big grassy lawn 2. Food 3. Beverages (mostly cold ones) Ive written down beer on the envelope Im using to write all this down and it sounds like a keeper. 4. Stages and PAs and stuff 5. My favourite bands Ha ha yes!!! I know it may take a year or so for people to get used to the idea but after that I think it will shoot off like nothing out there. I have decided that we (The Hives) are gonna play. On top of that good news, I wanna see and play with: Eagles of Death Metal J D McPherson New Bomb Tturks Kv...

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 13 February 2014 NICK ARSON DJs ON HOME TURF! Oh what a treat it was to make ones way down to Götis bar in in my hometown Fagersta, Sweden last Saturday for the premiere night of Fagerstas new rockclub Mikisklubben I very seldom go out and do DJ sets but this was a real hoot so maybe I should more often. Tons of people came out to support, take part in and first and foremost enjoy the local rock scene and some food and drinks. The two local rock acts that brought the house down this time were Bruket and R.I.F Next time, March 29, we look forward to seeing Swedish punk legends Asta Kask (one of the most important bands for The Hives) and Stilett As I did get asked a bit what gems and nuggets I was playing during my 15 min (2,5h) of turntable fame I just thought Id share a list of some of them in case you wanna check out some great music. All the best Your friend Nick Arson ENJOY! Cant Se...

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 14 May 2013 Adventures in South America 2013 We had not been in South America for close to five years when the offer to play the Lollapalloozas in Brazil and Chile showed up on our desk. We wanted to play more than just the two Lolla shows however, so a festival in Argentina and a couple of headline shows (including one in Lima, Peru where we had never been before) were added. We had such a good time that we now decided to share some memories of when the Lex Hives tour passed through this great part of our planet.  After seven weeks in the U.S.A. we said goodbye to North America and on March 30th we landed in South American soil- in Sao Paulo, Brazil to be more exact. That evening our dear friends Queens Of The Stone Age were gonna play their first show after being in the studio for a long time, we would not wanna miss that so off to the festival we went. Show was great and it was...

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 14 May 2013 Saicos Ahh sweet music! Sitting at home listening to Saicos, the Peruvian garage rock kings. Had to give a listen today as I am wearing the Saicos tshirt that some warmhearted guy gave me at the show in Lima. Demolicion rules!  Later  Arson

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 26 April 2013 Borlänge Hey all first show since South America tour went off yesterday in Borlänge! Tiny place, lots of physical contact and a Hives in super form inspite of current shit going on.  The Hives are alive with the sound of music... one could say!  See the crowd masses and the bright shining halo that is The Hives! Picture from Dala demokraten.  Later folks  Arson

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 5 April 2013 Brasil, Argentina and Chile! Phew! Resting in the hotel in Santiago Chile after a couple of days of pretty full on stuff. After our tour de force at Lollapallooza Brasil we went down to Porto Alegre for our own headline show. The show was a steam bath but one of the most fun shows in a long time. Thanks everyone present! After that we had flight mayhem for 2 days with cancelled flights and logistic nightmares and spent most of our time asleep on the floor in the terminal. It ended in us coming to the show in Buenos Aires pretty much right before walking on stage but thanks to the greatest crew in the world and other people around us (also they the best in the world) we could pull off a show that would later be known as The Buenos Aires Miracle! Yes I did just make that up but its true nonetheless! See picture! Made it safely the day after to Santiago Chile where we met s...

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 4 March 2013 Indianapolis! Just finished the show here in Indianapolis with local heroes The Zero Boys. Me and Pelle came on and did Civilizations Dying with em. They really tore it up and it was great to see such a great band in their hometown. Thank you all of Indiana for coming out and making the night such a sweet sweet night! Later Arson

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 21 February 2013 Austin to Houston!!! Hey Yalls and Yallettes! Last nights show in Austin at EMO'S was a real hoot! We were back at the venue were we lost our US show virginity back in 1999. It was then called the Backroom. Great to meet our friends in the Flesh lights again too and their families. Thanks to everybody who showed up and made the night a night to remember!!! Today we are back on the Pink run and Houston is on the agenda. Should be sweet! Also did an interview today with a journalist in Lima Peru where we are going in a couple of weeks. Man I'm really looking forward to that. Peace, Hives and understanding Later Arson
