HANABIE
In case you didnât know, The Hives are the best band in the universe. Count yourselves lucky. The Swedish garage rockers graced us with their new album, The Hives Forever Forever The Hives, last year. And yes, they are still the high-energy, bouncy, cocky band you fell in love with over 30 years ago. Catch the band at The Salt Shed for their sold-out show with The Chats this Thursday, March 26th.
Lacuna Coil remains one of metalâs most successful acts. Since their formation in the mid-90s, their blend of heavy metal, gothic melodies, and Cristina Scabbiaâs powerful vocals has continued to draw audiences around the world. Touring in support of their latest album, Sleepless Empire, the band will perform at Concord Music Hall with special guests Escape the Fate and VOWWS on Sunday, March 29th. Grab tickets here.
Local Progressive Rock stalwarts Prognosis (led by guitarist/vocalist Steven Kikoen and now featuring acclaimed former Umphreyâs McGee drummer Kris Myers) bring their all-star band to Arcada Theatre in St. Charles on Saturday, March 28. If youâre a fan of Genesis, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, Yes, these guys are right up your alley. They also throw in a few curveballs from the pop-end of prog-influenced artists (Tears For Fears, 10CC, Supertramp) to make it extra interesting.
