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.
Beehive's music has debuted in the top 10 of about 50 colleges across the nation, and has also been added to Light to Medium rotation at about 200 colleges across the United States. It has earned the band outstanding reviews from respected publications, magazines, as well as over 200 college and core radio stations across the country. All of which praise their modern and unique, yet classic, sound.
In a live setting Beehive "breaks out the honey" (Seattle Times), by playing several notable festivals and conferences across the continent, such as NXNE in Toronto, New Music West Conference in Vancouver, Ladyfest South in Atlanta, Microsoft Gamefest, and the Seattle Pride Festival. 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, Seattle Weekly.
Songs from Pretty Little Thieves have continuously won 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.
Furthermore, Beehive continues to garner national and local radio attention on syndicated shows such as the Coloradowave, Seattle's 107.7 KNDD The End, 90.3 KEXP, CJam in Detroit, and Indie 104 IRadio in LA.
