UltraViolet Hippopotamus in Concert January 22, 2010

UV Hippo plays high energy shows with musically tight and diverse song writing; dipping into genres like rock, funk, and electronica jams. This radiating river cow has been known to blend strong songs and tight licks with improvisation to help find an original sound where their progressive aspirations meet their audience‘s thirst for funk. Some say it's rock. Some say it's more like jazz. Still others report electronica, reggae and even bluegrass emanating from the massive orifice of this unpredictable menace.

One thing is for sure with multiple live recordings, two full length albums "Background Music" and the acclaimed recent release "Songs for the Reaper" (called …"a classic"… by Music Review and WYCE radio) this six headed beast has become a phenomenon in the Mid West music scene. With their thirst for exploration and desire to connect with the listener, Ultraviolet Hippopotamus leaves audiences shakin' their booties and wanting more. The Sultans of Bing open the show.
