On Wednesday, May 16, 2023, Swedish garage rock band The Hives performed at Racket in New York, NY before the release of their forthcoming album, The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons.

I covered the intimate show along with writer A. Stein for Bowery Presents’ The House List and that coverage is available here.

If you are in NYC and missed out on tickets to their small show last night, The Hives will return in October for a performance at a larger venue, Brooklyn Steel, with tickets on sale Friday.
