Zero Mile Presents Magic City Hippies, Supertaste
CRITIC'S PICK:
Fri. Jan. 16
Magic City Hippies, Supertaste, Variety Playhouse - Once named the less colorful Robby Hunter Band for its frontman, MCH have been refining their sunshiny beach-styled pop/soul for over a decade. The sextet's most recent set, Enemies, reveals thumping 70s disco/funk with a moderate hip-hop influence that will surely fill the Variety's dance floor. When Hunter moves into falsetto, it's clear he's as much influenced by Marvin Gaye and Prince as the Bee Gees. Lyrics are generally beside the point when the vibe is so vibrant, but they sometimes reveal a darker side. Dust off those bell bottoms and platform shoes and get your groove on. - Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
We can all take solace in the simple pleasures awarded us through our senses. 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, yet once their album titled Magic City Hippies dropped, it became clear they had accidentally found their identity through an album title. Renamed in 2015 as Magic City Hippies, the Miami boys tasked themselves with marrying the funk sweat of a midafternoon sail with the syncopated shoulder shimmy of a late night out. They quickly gathered steam and took to gracing stages across the planet, from packed night clubs, to sold out concert halls, to earning performances at Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Lollapalooza, Magic City Hippies cater to those simply looking to escape with a welcoming, never-haughty, yet delightfully naughty, thwap.
