You already knew The Hives could rock, but did you know they could dance? In the new video for “Rigor Mortis Radio” (from last year’s The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons), the Swedish garage punks are fully choreographed in a routine they describe as “Bob Fosse Meets NSYNC.” Digital face-swapping may or may not have been involved in this Filip Nilsson-directed video but it’s fun regardless. Watch below.
The Hives spent part of their summer opening for Green Day and Foo Fighters, and will be going on a headlining fall tour that includes appearances at Asbury Park’s Sea.Hear.Now and Chicago’s Riot Fest, and a NYC show at King’s Theatre on September 24 with Bad Nerves opening.
