Sacramento brothers Kevin and Jeff Saurer have been building one of the most genre-defying catalogs in electronic music for years — trap folded into psych rock folded into trip-hop into something that resists easy categorization. They broke through on the strength of a remix that crossed a billion YouTube views and put them at No. 1 on Billboard’s Next Big Sound chart. Their track “Devil Eyes” has since passed 700 million Spotify streams. When they come through upstate New York, you pay attention.
About Hippie Sabotage
Hippie Sabotage is Kevin and Jeff Saurer — brothers from Sacramento who built their sound by refusing to stay in one lane. The duo blends electronic production with hip-hop, trap, psych rock, and trip-hop into a hybrid that works as well in headphones as it does in a room full of people. Their most recent album, Trailblazer (2023), keeps that tradition going. They have headlined Red Rocks Amphitheatre and played Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Firefly, and Hangout — the kind of festival résumé that signals this act knows how to move a crowd.
The Give and Take Tour brings that energy to Electric City on Wednesday, April 29. Doors open at 7:00 PM, show at 8:00 PM. The night is all ages. Underground rapper Kembe X opens — he operates in the alternative hip-hop world, and his smooth, layered delivery is a smart pairing with what the Saurer brothers do. If the name is new to you, he is the kind of opener you look up on the drive home.
About the Venue
Electric City is a 1,000-capacity club on Pearl Street in downtown Buffalo — the right scale for a touring act at this level. A duo that plays amphitheaters and major festivals on national circuits does not land in a 1,000-person room very often. It is worth the trip out to Buffalo / Western NY for that reason alone. Pearl Street puts you in the middle of downtown, so arriving early gives you options before the show.
