HIPPIE SABOTAGE

The Warfield pulsed with electricity on Saturday night as Sacramento-born electronic duo Hippie Sabotage delivered a blistering, emotional performance that blended their signature genre-hopping sound with moments of raw vulnerability and gratitude.

Known for their viral remixes like “Stay High” and genre-defying hits such as “Devil Eyes,” “Your Soul,” and “Options,” brothers Kevin and Jeff Saurer have carved out a unique lane in the electronic scene - one that lives at the intersection of hip-hop, alt-rock, EDM, and ambient trap. But on this stop of their latest tour, the pair went far beyond the expected.

From the first drop, the crowd was locked in as opening act Carpetman warmed things up with a tight, high-energy set. When Hippie Sabotage finally emerged through smoke and strobes, the venue exploded. Jeff tore through song after song on electric guitar while Kevin prowled the stage, rallying the crowd with every stomp, mic raise, and splash of water.

What elevated the night wasn’t just the massive LED walls or seismic bass - it was the human element. Partway through the set, the duo paused to thank their fans and reflect on Jeff’s recent recovery from a brain aneurysm, a sobering moment met with an outpouring of support. It was a reminder that behind the lights and visuals are two brothers with a story and a community behind them.

The night never stalled. New cuts collided with fan-favorites, from the psychedelic haze of “Drifter” to the mosh-pit-ready beat switch in “Running Miles”.

The setlist flexed their full range: loud, quiet, emotional, chaotic, all at once. And when the sing-along peaks of “Stay High” and “Devil Eyes” hit, the floor shook as one.

Hippie Sabotage’s catalog may shift wildly: from chillwave roots to punk-laced experiments, but the live show is remains the same: sweat, catharsis, and connection.
