Beehive – A band with one foot deeply rooted in the music of the past, and the other stepping boldly forward into the music of the future! 2007 sees the release of Pretty Little Thieves from Seattle's most exciting Pop.Indie.Electro duo Beehive. (Seattle Weekly)Beehive consists of Vocalist-Producer Alethea "Butterfly Beats," and Guitarist-Vocalist David Miller. The duo creates electronic rhythms and soundscapes, combined with emotive vocals, and commanding guitar tones that are organic yet modern sounding to craft hook-laden, melodic, and powerful pop songs. "This duo makes music that electronic heads can dig into and rockers can rock out to" (MF Magazine). Thus, two worlds collided, and one of the freshest and most innovative sounds of the present was created, while still paying homage to a colorful musical past.Beehive's current release, Pretty Little Thieves, has earned the band outstanding reviews from respected northwest publications and magazines praising there modern and unique, yet classic, sound. The Tacoma Volcano calls Beehive "Giant, cool and fun," while adding that the live show is "technology and humans interfacing, causing a tidal wave of infectious energy." Angela Jossey of the Tacoma Volcano goes on to describe Pretty Little Thieves as "fresh and inventive, with an '80s feel… You can't call it retro though… there are some amazing sounds and sonic thrusts on [the record] that are definitely of the future."Seattle Sound Magazine proclaimed Pretty Little Thieves as, "Equal parts late-U2 and the Killers… this debut full length is infectious, modern and fresh and pays homage to all electro-pop rock albums that have come before. Beehive perfectly fills that empty space in your local rock catalog between the United States of Electronica and the Divorce."Songs from Pretty Little Thieves have continued to win local and national music competitions through Local Northwest Promotions as a featured artist in the month of October, as well as in the CMJ sponsored competition Ourstage.com, in which Beehive has placed as finalists 9 times in 7 months and won twice in the Alternative and Electronic categories.

Moreover, Beehive continues to build upon their strong Seattle presence with their devoted fans and their nomination as one of the "Best Seattle Electronica Acts" in Seattle's premier entertainment periodical the "Seattle Weekly".Seattle's KEXP radio calls Beehive "definitely one to keep an eye on," and Future Music Magazine calls them "..far ahead of the pack."
