If you’re looking for a rock show, then the only place to go tonight is Terminal 5, for Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist and his gang of top-hat-and-tail-wearing punksters. After five years, the Hives are back with a smashing new 12-track record and enough attitude to kick Mike Tyson’s ass. Self-produced, Lex Hives is the Swedes’ way of knocking rock back on its rightful course — a course the quintet reestablished with uproarious gems, “Hate to Say I Told You So”, “Tick Tick Boom” and “Walk Idiot Walk.” Driven by the band’s abounding energy and Pelle’s playful crowd taunting, their live shows are what punk dreams are made of. SoCal garage rockers Fidlar open.
