Hippys On The Hill

From time to time if you are lucky, you get to see a young band on stage who just simply blow you away. Sometimes you think they might be a flash in the pan, just got fortunate enough to catch them on a good night. Not so with Hippys On The Hill! These four local lads have got talent by the bucket load and an attitude that is refreshing and unexpected, especially when you see that that the average age of the foursome is just 16! Opening up with 6ix 5ive 9ine, from their E.P, Sparrows And Stories To Be Told The Hippys, fronted by vocalist and guitarist Brad Done immediately set out to rock the mixed aged audience and with Craig Henderson on guitar, Sean McMinn-Davies on Bass and extra vocals and Mike Priest on drums they did just that! The set was pure unadulterated belligerence, self assured rock. With memories of early Clash and The Alarm in their style the boys carried on the set with In the Night and the bizarre Popeye Has No Friends!

With time against them the band finished an incredible night with the slightly apt Were All Insane (By The End Of Tonight) to huge applause from a more than satisfied crowd!

One of the best young bands around and well worth catching when they play at the Wirral show in July!
