MAGIC CITY HIPPIES – Enemies Tour w/ Mustard Service

Imagine, the memorable clink of ice hitting a rocks glass, the scent of muddled limes and mint, the faint crackle as the tipple is poured, the effervescent fizz of soda about to broach the rim, the straw insertion and swirl, the first sip of vacation…Life would be miserable without these gifts, and life would most certainly suck without the perfect soundtrack to the first cocktail of some much needed time off. Pop the cork on some Magic City Hippies.

MCH initially floated onto the scene as Robby Hunter Band, but stumbled into their true identity in 2015 when their album Magic City Hippies gave them a fresh sound and a new name. Fusing Miami’s sunshine-soaked funk with an after-hours swagger, they’ve since captivated audiences worldwide, from intimate clubs to the stages of Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Lollapalooza.

Their Hippie Castle EP (2015) was just the tip of the proverbial ice cube in a cocktail glass of hippie sass, blending poolside melodies and three-day weekend grooves. By the time Modern Animal (2019) arrived, Magic City Hippies had taken listeners beachside, layering even more sultry swank onto their already laid-back vibe. A few years later, Water Your Garden (2022) brought a shimmering, joyous soundtrack to a
world emerging from isolation, celebrating both solo and shared moments of dance. In 2024, the band continued their evolution with vibrant  singles like the disco-funk “Givin’ Up On Lovin’” and the psych-pop, acid-house blend of “I Can’t Let You Go,” teasing a larger project on the horizon and solidifying their eclectic, ever-expanding sonic mosaic.

While their studio albums have garnered both fan and critical acclaim, it’s the band’s electrifying live shows that truly set them apart. Their unapologetically high-energy performances have a way of breaking even the most reluctant attendees, pulling them into a groove that feels as irresistible as it is spontaneous. First-time attendees often walk away as devoted fans, a near-ritualistic transformation that’s become a signature of the Magic City Hippies’ live experience. Whether this sunshine funk is all up inside your alley, or even if pink neon signs flashing the words SENSUAL AUDIBLE MASSAGE just have you curious, Magic City Hippies deliver a rare blend of musical talent and touring tenacity, offering up funky sweaty smiles aplenty.
