The Best Swedish Rockers

Pelle Almqvist is one of the best rock showmen ever. So why is he virtually unknown, even among rock fans?
Well, for one thing, his band, the Hives, plays good old-fashioned three-chord, two-minute, wham-bam rock songs, full of energy and sass.
You have to see the Hives live to really appreciate Almqvist and company. He will not be stopped, until every person in the audience is having as much fun as he is. He mugs, he charms, he dances, he climbs speaker cabinets, he strikes rock-star poses, he brags outrageously...
They're from Sweden and they're a sight, in their matching black-and-white suits, always with string ties and spats. The five Hives are talented and tight; they make rock fun again.

They recently won a Grammi (Swedish equivalent of an American Grammy) for Best Live Act, if you haven't seen or heard of them Or if you know them well, you should check THIS out.
