Hippie Sabotage on Tour

Electronic music duo Hippie Sabotage fully embody their moniker, lighting up venues with trippy LED visuals while attacking the stage with huge beats, booming bass and endless amounts of energy. The Saurer brothers may have pushed well over a billion streams online, but it’s nothing like seeing them command a stage, especially when Kevin’s behind the boards and Jeff busts out his guitar. Since going global with their remix of Tove Lo’s “Habits (Stay High),” the duo have brought their smooth, heart-pounding productions to cities around the world, dominating at top festivals like Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits and Electric Zoo, and selling out shows on their own headlining tours.

Before they even hit their teens, Sacramento brothers Kevin and Jeff Saurer started crafting their own music. They first focused their attention on hip-hop, creating instrumental beat tapes. By the late ‘00s, they decided to give themselves a name: Hippie Sabotage, inspired by their father and grandfather’s initials, H.S. They began collaborating with rappers like Yukmouth and Calez, and eventually morphed those hip-hop beats into more EDM-based songs. In 2013, they released their first EP of original material, Vacants, but it was a remix that would soon turn their life upside down. That same year, they reworked Swedish pop singer Tove Lo’s “Habits (Stay High),” turning it into a dark, woozy dance track that eventually peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and shot up numerous other charts around the world. This sudden rise inspired the brothers to release more material, including a number of singles and EPs and soon their first full-length, The Sunny Album. Their sophomore album, Providence, followed in 2016 along with the Options EP, a collaboration with producer Cubic Z of DJ Khaled’s We the Best Music Group label. They continued that partnership for 2017’s Drifter, and by the time they set off for their 2018 national tour, they were boasting over one billion streams and counting.
