Happy as F*ck, yes indeed: Mod Sun and hippy hop

Happy, happy, hippy, happy... I have no other words for Mod Sun!

Have you heard hippy-hop yet? Think hip-hop with a late sixties/early seventies twist, long hair, a big smile, and happily stoned. That's Mod Sun. That's hippy-hop.

Currently on tour with Breathe Carolina, Mod Sun bounced around the stage last night at the Ace of Spades, immensely entertaining and full of good cheer. You couldn't help dancing. (Or at the bare minimum tapping a foot, in the case of a stern-looking matriarch who was no doubt only at the show because the kids had dragged her there.) You couldn't help smiling. I couldn't help grinning.

"I don't have any fans. Just friends!"

I think Mod Sun now has more friends. Many more. Probably as many as the sell-out crowd.

If you haven't heard hippy-hop yet, you need to check out Mod Sun.  Check out the tour dates and run buy a ticket. You'll be entertained, and you may find that grin you've been looking for.
