Hippo Campus at Terminal 5 in NY
Minnesota quintet Hippo Campus brought an indie dance party to Manhattan last Friday, supported by The Districts at Terminal 5.

Fresh off the release of their sophomore album Bambi, Hippo Campus (Jake Luppen, vocals/guitar, Zach Sutton, bass/vocals, Nathan Stocker, guitar/vocals, Whistler Allen, drums/vocals, and DeCarlo Jackson bass/trumpet) fostered a delightful atmosphere through their thoughtful tunes and uplifting presence.
The energy was tangible throughout the three-floor venue, with all in in attendance singing along to every word with a near cathartic fervor. What made the show even better was the genuine appreciation the five band members had for those in the crowd, contributing to a positive feedback loop that culminated in a wild encore of Violet off of their EP “South.” See an infectious Hippo Campus gig in a town near you and keep up with them on Instagram.
