Tonight was one of five UK album launch shows for The Hives’ seventh LP: The Hives Forever Forever The Hives, staged at one of London’s newest venues, Here at Outernet. Built deep below Charing Cross Road, the room feels more like a bunker than a gig space — all the hospitality of a bomb shelter without the grit or charm of the old Astoria that once stood across the street. Comparable in size but lacking in atmosphere, it was nevertheless packed wall-to-wall with 2,000 eager Hives fans.
