The Hives refer to Prince at their First Avenue gig

http://www.TwinCities.com...401386.htm Excerpt:
The Hives bask in their high opinion of themselves.

"Isn't this the best band you've ever seen?" Almqvist asked at one point. But the effect is charming rather than smug. It may not be impossible to sound threatening with a Swedish accent, but it is impossible to declare {{{"I am the reincarnation of Prince"}}} or proclaim your band "the Eighth Wonder of Man" in a Swedish accent without sounding, well, cute. Adorable even.

I saw these guys in Detroit and the review was right on. Instead of the P reference, they said American made cars suck. How original.

There is nothing funnier than a little man with a swedish accent saying, "we are the Hives and you must love us". They had a lot of energy and the opening band (The Mooney Suzukis) were amazing.

The important thing is it cost Ten bucks and 2 out of 3 bands were awesome.
