Here’s how the band humbly describes the trek:

“The Hives will be returning to various raised platforms on which theatrical performances are given to bestow their sheer brilliance, incomparable riffs and rugged good looks in honor of the greatest stack of songs ever recorded, The Black and White Album.

“Long time partners in good times, California’s own Eagles of Death Metal, will maximize the bang for your hard earned buck as co-headliners. The Willowz will open the festivities.

“Women will weep. Men will rejoice. Children will dance. The Hives will rule.”

The fun kicks off September 16 at Stubb’s Bar-B-Q in Austin, with additional stops scheduled in Tempe, Ariz.; San Diego; Anaheim, Calif.; Ventura, Calif.; San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The lastest creation from the EODM lab, Heart On, will unleash October 21 on Downtown Records.

A full EODM tour is expected to closer the the disc’s release.
