Hippie Death Cult has today released their new live video for the track titled ‘Red Giant’ from their upcoming live EP ‘Live at the Star Theater’, dropping May 9th via Heavy Psych Sounds.
What better way to advertise your live show than, well, to put out a live EP. Bands and artists live or die by the reputation of their live shows, especially when you use backing tracks (ugh). Hippie Death Cult gives me that feeling I last felt when I saw a woman naked for the first time. Like, I found a whole new world. Like, there was more out there than just my little slice of the earth.
Hippie Death Cult breathes fire into that jam band indie mentality with a sonic assault of the senses that never lets up yet lets you in. Untouched and unfiltered, ‘Live at the Star Theater’ is rebel rawness meant for those who seek as such and demand more.
About Hippie Death Cult & ‘Live at the Star Theater’
Hippie Death Cult’s journey through shameless and triumphant artistic expression has led them to become a vibrant force in the realms of psychedelia and riff-heavy rock n’ roll. This journey has not been without its challenges, but the band has always managed to emerge stronger and more determined than ever. Throughout their formative years, the band underwent what proved to be a very significant evolution, transitioning from a 4-piece to a more cohesive and harmonious power trio. This lineup currently consists of guitarist and founder Eddie Brnabic, vocalist and bassist Laura Phillips, and drummer Harry Silvers.
In 2019, Hippie Death Cult caught the attention of Cursed Tongue Records, who signed them for the release of their highly anticipated album “111.” The record was met with widespread acclaim, solidifying their place in the music scene. Building on this success, the band made another significant move in 2021 by signing with Heavy Psych Sounds Records. This partnership resulted in the release of their album “Circle of Days” and a split release titled “Doom Sessions Vol.5” with label mates High Reeper. Both full-length albums soared to the very top of the Doom Charts as well as many “Album Of The Year” lists, further cementing their status as a rising force in the genre.
Their 2023 album “Helichrysum” marks a significant milestone as it sees bassist Laura Phillips stepping up on lead vocals, adding a powerful new dimension and sense of originality to their doom-tinged ‘70s sound, relentlessly powered by Eddie Brnabic’s epic shredding. With their unwavering dedication to their craft and their ability to push boundaries, Hippie Death Cult is poised to leave an indelible mark on the music scene for years to come.
