Hey everybody - it's our turn to ask for a little help from you all: Please come to our gigantic yard sale/hang out/BBQ this Saturday in Pioneer Park. It's on the corner of Cocoanut and 12th Street, and we'll have lots of cool things for sale to benefit our six-week fall tour including skateboards, musical equipment, J...onas's old shorts that he used to wear to every show and never washed, and some of Ryan's mismatched yet sophisticatedly patterned socks.

 

 


7.24.10

Tomorrow night we'll be playing at The Hub in downtown Tampa; it'll be a full moon, we'll drink too much scotch, and most likely turn into werewolves. Oh, and we'll also preview a few new things so if you'd like a sneak peak before the album release, come have a Johnnie Black with us!

Dear everyone we know: our show this Friday will be a monumental event NOT because we may or may not be dressing up as Hugh Heffner & his faithful Playboy bunnies, but because we are driving our new bus on her maiden voyage to St. Pete. ***There are 8 seats available for anyone who wants to join us***  Please message me or Jonas or call one of us if you are interested. Seriously. See you all soon!

Commencing pre-production for new record. Jonas is killing it on the click. Who wants evidence?


 


 

5.15.10

...and as one door closes, another opens.  We would like to welcome and announce Ryan O'Neill (Villanova Junction, Stiff Saints, The Uptight) as our new third man in crime.  We took Ryan on as a second guitarist at two previous tribute shows and not only did he prove to be an excellent musician, but he was a pleasure to work with and proves daily to be a good friend.  His blues and punk background make him an obvious choice as the perfect addition to Sons of Hippies.  Cheers!!!

 


 

5.14.10

Goodbye Michael Mök!!!  As some of you may know already, our beloved bass-thrashing Icelander is leaving the band on a call of social duty. Michael is returning to his home of Seltjarnarnes, Iceland -after being chosen as one of an elite few to comprise a group of analysts who will research and study the global effects of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano that recently erupted.  We love you Michael!!! Please be safe and do the world good!  This is how we will always remember you.

Our next show will be at Ace's Lounge on May 7th with Bradenton-based Americana Heroes: Have Gun, Will Travel (Their latest release was the no. 20 most added album on the CMJ radio charts). We were thrilled when asked to open for them at this cozy club for what they called, "a special homecoming performance." Here's a link to a tbt article that pretty much sums up their awesomeness:

Dear friends: soon, we'll be adding a new section to the site which will chronicle and document (docnicle) all things important leading up to our album release and tour in September. Most important, the overhaul of our new (almost 20 year-old) tour bus. She'll win beauty pageants from here to Texas. Here's a sneaky peak:

There's a wood cabin a bit north of here, where delicious homemade beer flows like syrup from a Vermont Maple. This Saturday, there will be delicious music too.

Two nights ago, Ybor City was alive!

Creative Loafing's annual Sensory Overload festival took five neighborhood venues hostage and set up art installations, invited bands to perform live original music, encouraged spontaneous dancing with the beautiful and talented All Out Dance Team, and promoted a multi-media joining of all things creative. Street teams handed out Sensory Overload's calling card - a delicate white feather tied to piece of beige sandpaper on top of a shred of silk.

Sons of Hippies was invited to play in an art space called The Roosevelt where we had the pleasure of meeting a group of dedicated artists who were immediately kind and supportive. Thank you to Creative Loafing Tampa, The Campus TV, and The Roosevelt for a sensational evening.

Here's an interview that Jason Henson did with us after the show:

Here's the kind of review we like to see!

 

Sons of Hippies: Sexy psychedelia from south of the Skyway

-- Julie Garisto, tbt*.

Funny enough, Sons of Hippies — which features singer-guitarist Katherine Kelly, drummer Jonas Canales and bassist Michael Mök — doesn’t sound like hippies at all.

 

That’s not to say the name isn’t apt. There’s something spry and rebellious about the trio from Sarasota. They might not be skipping through daisies, but they delight in tripping up expectations...  [Read the rest of the article here...]

Hello all,

A few days ago we were in-studio at WSLR 96.5fm playing tunes from Warriors of the Light and talking about the summer and new plans. Here's the broadcast:
