The Hives are returning to North American shores. In 2013, the band played new
continents including Africa, did European festivals, Lollapalooza South America and opened for Pink.All of this in support of self-released fifth effort Lex Hives (Disques Hives). To bring the year to a close, the band will rejoin Pink in North American arenas on her The Truth About Love Tour.
Additionally, the band will also
appear as a special guest during Cyndi Lauper & Friends: Home For The Holidays concert at the Beacon Theater in NYC on Dec. 7.
The evening will feature the live debut of The Hives & Cyndi
Lauper's 2010 Christmas song "A Christmas Duel." Tickets for all shows
are on sale now. Please see the full list of dates below.
The
Hives' single "Come On!" is currently featured on the
brand new Xbox One commercials. The band has teamed up with Indaba Music
for the Surface Remix Project, which is a new software/hardware product from Microsoft. The Surface Remix Project
will allow everyone from expert producers to everyday music fans to
create remixes. The application will enable users to remix recent major
artist hits, iconic classics, and songs by Indaba members all prepared
especially for remixing.

The
Hives were also recently featured in Ron Howard's Made In America
documentary that premiered on Showtime. The band are also
