Venue: House of Blues, Anaheim
Accompanied by: Gabrielle
Genre: Garage/Punk/Rock
Upon the insistence and recommendation of a mutual friend, Gabrielle and I went out to the Anaheim House of Blues to listen to a band from Sweden called The Hives. From what we had been told, they were an amazing live act not to be missed. And when all was said and done, we were glad to have been there. The crowd in attendance were as eclectic as the band themselves, which made for a fun evening of people watching. And the music was fast, furious and fun.
Looking around online for reviews of the show, I came across this one from a guy who's definitely a fan. I'm guessing he made the effort to get to the venue early in order to secure a spot on the floor near the front... whereas me and Gabs chose to hang out upstairs near the bar where we could breath and make a quick exit once the show was over.
Amazingly, all 19 songs as listed above were smushed into an approximately 90 minute set. Now, that's my kind of show. Got my rock n roll fix and was still home and in bed before midnight. What can I say? I'm getting older and can't hang like I used to. But, that's okay because most rock stars these days are my age or older and can't party the way they used to either.
