00:00Hello, I'm Chris Dangerous. I'm in Benacassim. I also play drums in the hives.
00:06My name is Halen Pell Armqvist. I'm coincidentally also in Benacassim in España, Spain.
00:13And I sing for the aforementioned group.
00:17Today's been great. We've been in the pool and I've been driving go-karts and we've been doing some...
00:24We've been explaining to the world a lot of things about our new record
00:29and how good it is when it will eventually come out.
00:33Sometimes it feels like we're making Chinese democracy.
00:37We tried to mix it and it didn't work out.
00:40No, so we're gonna remix it.
00:42We sent it off to a bunch of people and they're gonna dazzle us with their skills
00:47and then we're gonna pick it a little.
00:50Our last record was very much based around a concept of how we wanted it to sound,
00:55how we wanted to play guitar and stuff like that.
00:58But this time it's a lot more...
01:02There's more of everything. It's more all over the place basically.
01:05It's recorded in some seven or eight different studios which will make it sound sort of different.
01:12And there are songs that only have piano and finger snaps on them.
01:16There are songs that feature tons of keyboards.
01:21There are songs that feature just the five of us playing in a room together recorded live.
01:27So there's a little bit of everyone.
01:28And the title, I can tell you this much, it's semi-long.
01:33It's longer than last time, yeah.
01:36And it's a good title too.
01:38It's a fucking great one.
01:39If it wasn't as good we probably could have told you but...
01:42Yeah.
01:43Gotta keep some things a trade secret.
01:45We're playing four new songs tonight.
01:49Bigger Hole to Fill.
01:51Are we playing Try It Again?
01:53No.
01:54Tick Tick Boom.
01:55Well alright.
01:57And letting...
01:58No.
02:00There's one more one.
02:01We haven't decided whether to call it one of two things.
02:06Yeah.
02:07I almost did a fatal thing right there.
02:09I think it's called You Got It All Wrong.
02:14There's a pause, see.
02:16I like it.
02:17I like it too actually.
02:19You like it even more once you've heard the song.
02:21Yeah.
02:21The thing is we started doing set lists a few years ago.
02:27Because we got ourselves a guy that runs the light show.
02:30And he wanted to know in what order we were playing the songs.
02:33Actually we got a tour manager who had a printer and he wanted to print set lists.
02:37And it's fun to give away to kids but I kind of preferred it when we didn't have one.
02:42And whoever could just start on a song and everybody else would have to follow.
02:46It's good, it keeps you on your toes.
02:48I want to see...
02:49I wanted to see Amy Winehouse.
02:52But I think she goes on like in the middle of our set or something.
02:55I saw her and I did this thing.
02:57You know when you see someone who you've seen a lot but you don't know.
03:01And you just see him really quickly and you think you know him.
03:03So I just said hi.
03:06And she looked kind of like that and nodded.
03:11I think she's very good, yeah.
03:13I like that sort of...
03:15The Shirley Bassiness of it all.
03:18There's that...
03:19There's another UK band I like.
03:21The Horrors.
03:22I think they're good.
03:23At least their guitars are not in tune.
03:24That's always a good sign for a rock and roll band.
03:27Hey hey UK.
03:31You can...
03:32What...
03:33I'm here to explain to you what you can expect.
03:35But you all know that you can expect anything and more from us.
03:38And we will deliver every time.
03:40And this time we might deliver some stuff that you're not used to the hives delivering.
03:45Some proper next level shit.
03:49So...
03:50Just stand around expecting for a few more days and the truth will be revealed.
03:55Be on your toes.
