THE HIVES – LEX HIVES (Preorder | Single)

May 15, 2012 by Skinny Genes Categories: rock, skinny genes |

After a comeback tour of epic proportions, The Hives are cocked, locked and loaded with the release of their fifth studio album this June! The Swedes have been at it since the early 90s, and haven’t shown signs of tapping out anytime soon. Especially considering how they rocked Coachella after a 10 year hiatus of the festival. Showing the crowd that their mainstage allotment was wholeheartedly earned.

While they battled the fine line between confidence and cockiness, their performance added up to be one of the best of the weekend. Utter and sheer rawness from the get go. Don’t believe me? Watch the video below of their single “Go Right Ahead.” You won’t get sh*t like this at ULTRA or EDC. Just more evidence that The Hives are here to stay, and that rock and roll is alive and well! Check the media after the jump:

YOLO List: Week 95

12FV

Hello hello again, friends. Last week was a fairly slow one for new music. SO I stocked this week’s list up with some random, timeless gems I picked up while shuffling through my library. If you have them, GOOD! If not, try something new. There’s something great about finding out you like a new genre. It’s kinda like you’ve opened a portal to a far away land of mysteries, except you can explore it from the comforts of your computer chair. Regardless, I hope these expand your musical inclinations. Aaaannywwaay, happy Mother’s day to all da baby mommaz out der. Enjoy #95!

[NEW!] The Twelves Mix 05-08-2012

So I just got home and was about to way to make my way over to SoundLogik’s DISCO MASSIVE, then suddenly a wild The Twelves mix appears! It uses funk and deep house. It is very effective!

Don’t know where it’s from. Or why they put it out. Or anything really. They’ve been leaving us with all these questions lately. Whatever! It’s nice to hear something from them. Debatably my favorite producers, and undeniably my favorite dance music performers. They’ll be at I Love This City SD and Drai’s Hollywood on Memorial Day Weekend. Yes, I’ll be at both.

#ThrowbackThursday: Voxtrot

Some more Texas-based indie-pop-throwback-goodness for you: Voxtrot were around in the early 2k’s. They broke up a few years ago but their music is still pretty essential in my iTunes. They remind me of Belle and Sebastian covering The Smiths. Or something. I love them. You should too. Just saying.
