The crowd was wedged up against the front barricade of South Side Ballroom, cheering as Gus Dapperton and his band left the stage. They’d been the perfect opener for Hippo Campus—punchy instrumentals, smooth melodies and harmonies, and plenty of dancing.
Earlier this year, Hippo Campus released their latest album, LP3 – taking the record for a spin on a tour of the same name. Along the way, the Minnesota outfit played their first-ever show in Ann Arbor on October 3rd. With a packed crowd on hand at the Michigan Theater, the band played new cuts and old favorites.
Since I last saw Hippo Campus play in Birmingham (supporting Modest Mouse in 2015), they have not returned to Birmingham, despite playing in England on a number of occasions over the last few years. In my review I knew this band was destined for success.
