Biography

Beehive consists of Vocalist/Producer Alethea 'Butterfly Beats' and Guitarist/Vocalist David Miller. This 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 indie-rock/electronic/pop songs.

SPIN Magazine voted Beehive as one of the Top 8 Undiscovered Bands last year. In addition, the band's debut release, ''Pretty Little Thieves'' charted at number 1 at several college radio stations in the US and Canada within the first week of its release, as well as in the top 10 of over 100 colleges across the nation. Overall, ''Pretty Little Thieves'' was added into the rotation at over 400 colleges across the United States and Canada. Right out of the starting gate successes like these continue to earn Beehive outstanding praise from respected publications, radio stations, and magazines, including licensing placements on several notable television shows and movies. All of which celebrate Beehive's modern, unique, yet classic sound. ''there's no doubting the inherent soul of Beehive'' (SPIN MAGAZINE)

''This duo makes music that electronic heads can dig into and rockers can rock out to' (MF Magazine). The Tacoma Volcano calls Beehive ''Giant, cool and fun... technology and humans interfacing, causing a tidal wave of infectious energy.'' Seattle Sound Magazine proclaimed Pretty Little Thieves '''Equal parts late U2 and the Killers. Beehive's debut full length is infectious, modern and fresh, while still pays homage to all electro pop rock albums that have come before.''

In a live setting Beehive ''breaks out the honey'' (Seattle Times) through their energetic sets, playing several notable festivals and conferences across the continent, such as CMJ in NYC, SXSW (Go Girls Showcase) in Austin, Bumbershoot in Seattle, NXNE in Toronto, New Music West Conference in Vancouver, Ladyfest South in Atlanta, Microsoft Gamefest, and the Seattle Pride Festival. Beehive has toured in cities all over the United States independently and with other high profile electronic pop acts such as Digitalism and Fujiya and Miyagi to name a few. Moreover, in their hometown of Seattle, Beehive is considered to be one of the ''Best Seattle Electronica Acts'' as evidenced through their nomination by Seattle's premier entertainment magazine the ''Seattle Weekly''.

Songs from Pretty Little Thieves have continuously won Beehive competitions and spotlights throughout the nation, some of which include band spotlights for: CMJ, URB Magazine,Sonicbids,

Local Northwest Promotions, and the Musican's Atlas. Furthermore Beehive has placed as finalists over 12 times in 12 months, and has won 6 times in the Alternative, Indie Pop, and Electronic categories on the band competition website Ourstage.com.
