Hippie Sabotage is a duo created by musicians Kevin and Jeff Saurer. From adolescence, the brothers seriously began to get involved in music. Then there was a desire to create their own project, but they realized this plan only in 2005.
The band has been regularly adding new albums and singles to its discography for 15 years. Touring plays an important role in the band's life. The duet is often invited to European and American festivals.
The history of the creation of the Hippie Sabotage team
The brothers realized that they wanted to realize themselves as singers in their teens. They actively wrote lyrics and music, which resulted in full-fledged tracks. Then the duo decided that they would work in the hip-hop genre.
Already in 2008, the brothers received a lucrative offer from producer Chase Moore. The manager managed to see in Kevin and Jeff very promising musicians. They soon joined the so-called "Chicago Rap Community".
The creative path and music of the band Hippie Sabotage
Since the creation of the team, the duet has shown excellent professional growth. The guys created not only beats to which you want to move, but also meaningful texts. They later wrote music for Alex Wiley and CPlus.
8 years have passed since the creation of the band, and the brothers presented their debut album to fans of their work. It's about the Vacants record. A little later, the singles White Tiger and Sunny replenished the musical treasury. "Fans" warmly accepted both the debut LP and the presented singles.
The musicians did not have many fans. But after Ellie Goulding shared a remix of the Stay High track with subscribers on her social network, the situation changed.
At the same time, the duo worked with the track of the performer Tove Lo. It is noteworthy that the guys' remix turned out to be much more popular than the original version of the composition. He topped all sorts of charts and scored more than 1 million plays. Long-awaited popularity hit the Hippie Sabotage group.
The songs performed by the duo were very popular. For example, the remixed composition Habits, which was posted on one of the major video hosting sites, gained over 700 million views.
The musicians clearly understood that this wave of popularity needed to be managed correctly. In 2014, the band's discography was replenished with two records at once. We are talking about the collections Johnny Long Chord and The Sunny Album.
The image of the musicians deserves special attention. By the way, they did not have to bother to look original against the background of the rest. The name of the group fully reflects the appearance of celebrities.
The brothers look like real hippies. Their images, as it were, hint to the audience that they don’t “go overboard” much in clothes. Musicians prefer to wear a long and loose outfit.
Fans note that the duet's concerts are very atmospheric. Concerts of musicians are held on a light wave. Peace and tranquility reign in the hall.
