Leaving for Iceland on the 17th of October. Take your kayak or ride a whale. Be there or be square or try to pretend that you don't care.

See you way up north

Hello!!! I'm Alive!!!!

Yes it's me Howlin Pelle, writing a long overdue diary entry. Things have been very hectic for a while now trying to focus on staying home and taking care of paperwork and people here at Hive manor. It's good for us but vaguely depressing since we miss loud amps and screaming fans and the whole, you know, thing.

Me and Vigilante are going to go to Belfast tomorrow to pick up an award for our achivements. Thank you Ireland. We like you to.

We have also seen physicians and experts about the injuries sustained on the last few summer festivals and the news was positive. WE WILL ALL BE ABLE TO PLAY AGAIN! That's good news for you AND us. Since it means we can make a new record. Something we have been wanting to do for a long time. With a little luck and alot of effort this will(again) be a MILESTONE in art and a revolution in science. Dont hold your breath for it though...... you might die.

Hopefully back sooner than later.

Home again from touring.

Since we last computerly spoke we have contaminated Tokyo, Osaka, NYC, Reading and Leeds to name a few with The Hives. The outbrake was a success and as usual people love us wherever we may choose to go.

As of now only one show left this year. We sometimes have a hard time saying no and I already miss touring. Spending the best of me isolated for a while now though since it has been rough on my sorry excuse for a human body all this touring, see!

Catch you later memen and women

So finally! Nick Arson is back with a piece of internet wisdom.

Just came back from america and man do The Hives have the US of A eating out of the palm of our King Midas hand or what?

A: Damn straight!

On the westcoast they were still picking up the pieces while The Hives made their way over eastwards. People are still kicking ther dropped chins around while walking the streets of San Diego, LA, Portland, Vancouver, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, NYC, Boston to name few.

No eardrum has been left untouched and the The Hives also found the time to let it's tounge of excellence lick the whole Northamerican "radionotsogood" shiny and new.

Had a great time bringing the absolute best in music to every town together with our rocking friends in The Mooney suzuki, The Reigning sound, The New Bomb Turks and the Pattern to name most of them.

Conclusion and simple facts of life yet again:

AMERICA LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES THE HIVES ! ! !!!!

True true true!!!

Deal with it if you will overtheponders

FINAL for now

fURTHER MORE.... caps unlocked.... and action

Futhermore we even visited Finland the day before yesterday to work our finnish fans into a frenzy together with the likes of Flaming sideburns, Maggots and "Demons" for finnish Gearfest. Hyvää rocking action in Helsinki alltså and more to come in Stockholm tomorrow and in Oslo on Monday. Enjoy all you lucky folks nearby!

Sincerely

Arson Welles man of honour and truth signing off for now

I just have a small message to the people who are writing us saying I'm a genius because they think I am Randy Fitzsimmons.

I AM a genius, I'm just not the genius YOU THINK I am.

The Hives TO DO:

- Finish off Finland - DONE

- Kill Norway - DONE

- Play the UK to smithereens - ABOUT TO, leaving tomorrow

Yep! Had a great time in Finland playing to the eastern neighbour. Had same great thing going on in Norway from where I returned yesternight. I knew the finns were crazy but the norwegians almost teared us apart. I guess we had a mutual thing going

I am currently working up a steam (as if I had to) before leaving for the UK tomorrow. Some new towns will be aquainted with The Hives and the band is looking forward to gaining control over these areas.

I will return with more letters as soon as my fingers have stopped bleeding.

Thanks and goodbye for now
