ITCHING FOR HIVES
We’ve been marveling these past few weeks that our old favorite band, the
HIVES
, have managed to weather their sales dip (unwarranted, as Tyrannosaurus Hives was bleeping brilliant) without missing a beat. Having fully embraced their commercial instincts, they made lemonade out of that Timbaland-collabo lemon by selling it to the WWE. Then they snuck a sneak peek of their new single into a Nike commercial. Now comes word that they’ll headline the Middle East downstairs on October 14 (huge sigh of relief: this means we won’t have to shell out to see them play the Garden the following night), with tickets going on sale this Friday, August 17. And they’ve just announced the title of T. Hives’s follow-up —
The Black and White Album
, a name that trumps Metallica, the Beatles, and Jay-Z in one fell swoop — as well as its release date (October 9). Someone save us a seat at the side of the stage | Middle East downstairs, 480 Mass Ave, Cambridge | October 14 | $12 | 617.864.EAST.

The Lowdown
Four venues offering the best live alt-rock-rap-art from local and national acts, along with great food.
Best Club For Rock
The trusty Middle East takes the crown. No surprise there: the four-venues-in-one Central Square stalwart continues to bring in the best local and national bands and present them satisfyingly loud and clear, as every good rock club should.
Best Club For Hip-Hop
The Boston hip-hop scene is definitely thriving these days: talented local MCs, DJs, and producers are constantly emerging, while national acts are ever more frequently coming to town. And all this with only a handful of hip-hop-friendly venues. As your votes show, the Middle East has stepped it up on the hip-hop tip over the past few years, hosting shows by big national names like Royce Da 5’9”, underground heroes like Murs, and loads of local faves like the Perceptionists and Slaine.
