Ultraviolet Hippopotamus with Bacon
JAM BAND/ PROGRESSIVE/ FUNK

From the sweeping scenery of Western Michigan hails a rare creature known as Ultraviolet Hippopotamus. 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.
