Liverpool.
Posted on 4/24/2005 by the_hives
After roaming the streets and alleys of Cambridge we have now set foot upon Liverpool. The end of the UK tour is nigh. It has been a pleasure as always for everyone involved. You know, sold out and shit.
We filmed a couple aof shows a while back and we will watch it when we come home. All the Hives bootlegs we have seen kinda sucked filmingwise so there is a lot to correct and I think the black and white 5 will have to be the ones to do it. Maybe a concertfilm is in the works. How about that? It means you can sit in the privacy of your own chateau and watch a close approximation af the Hives live show on your personal home entertainment system.
Spring is here and it is the first time in a while we played Liverpool. Liverpool. What kind of name is that for a place. Pool of livers.
Things are lookin up for Hives fans and band alike as we are planning to spend some time in Hive manor seclusion working on tunes. He or she who lives this summer might hear some of it.
Til next, ta ta!/

Hello luvved ones, as the say around these here parts.
We have now been back on tour for little more than a week or so. I am bad w/ days. The Germans were a spectacular crowd as always. I am sure I am speaking for all the band when I thank thee, european crowd for beeing so nice to us. I mean, who could help applauding though, we have been absolutely smashing. Apart from a few mishaps.
Yesterday gay Paris showed both it´s good side and it´s bad side. Good beeing 6000 of them showing up for the gig and beeing a fun crowd to chat up afterwards. Bad beeing snooty about us not pronouncing streetnames right and ripping us of for cabfare.
On a personal note my mustasch is getting mixed reactions but it has helped me endlessly in cruising around incognito. From the eastern edge of Australia to the lanes of Brighton. Makes you wonder about the baseballcap+shades+litlledog+bigbodyguard approach. A little tango strip works better.
Nick Cave lives here but probably wont show up. Beeing in Australia and all. Shame. I like him.
I went to the royal pavillion (the seaside palace built for Georgieboy 4), The Brighton museum (had a design exibition, some good oiloncanvas and weapons from ancient cultures) and the beach. I love that sea...
Looking forward to once again turning the former empire upside down,
HPA
