As the world hurtles ever deeper into its final post truth, ai-generated death spiral… As the social feeds upon which we suckle become clagged with the sour taste of AI slop… As the digital realm turns cannibal and eats itself to death… perhaps it’s time for a bit of real life?

This April, The Undercover Hippy will embark upon their UK “Real Life Tour”, slogging their actual physical bodies and instruments around the country in a van and pouring their hearts and souls out to other actual physical human beings around the country. So sack off your digital identity, if just for one night, and come and get sweaty with one of the most delicious crowds you will ever encounter.

If you’ve not been to an Undercover Hippy gig before, you are in for a treat. By the encore you will be exalted and exhausted; entertained and educated; energised and inspired. The music combines meaningful lyrics with upbeat, bass soaked, reggae and hip-hop infused rhythms, bringing like minded people together to both acknowledge the darkness and celebrate life.

But don’t take our word for it:

Live Review - “I don’t think there’s anything quite like The Undercover Hippy... It’s truly unique, fun, and powerful, with darkly satirical lyrics in equal amounts set to a reggae beat that’s simply infectious… this has been one of the THE most enjoyable shows I’ve been to in years” - https://www.leftlion.co.uk/read/2023/april/gig-review-the-undercover-hippy-at-the-bodega
