The Hives have announced they are looking for cover bands to perform their own live shows for their “franchise”.The Swedish five-piece are currently on tour having released their new album ‘The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons’, their latest music after an eleven-year hiatus. It received four stars from NME upon release: “The Hives zapped straight back into the only mode they know: pure pandemonium. It’s about time new generations received this healthy dose of old school Hives, packed with the same intensity, goofiness – and of course, the matching black and white suits.”Today (November 22), the band have put out a statement encouraging fans to sign up here to put on their own tribute shows and uncover “rewards”.“THE HIVES FRANCHISE NEEDS YOU,” they began.“We have arrived at a point where The Hives can no longer keep up with public demand for concerts.
