DESCRIPTION:Dopapod Dopapod exists at the crossroads of full throttle int
 ensity\,  deep pocket groove\, intricate technicality\, and limitless  e
 xperimentation. With no regard towards towards stylistic boundaries\,  t
 he sound that emerges from the quartet both live and in the studio is  a
 s varied and diverse as the many influences that they adapt from. Their 
  approach and commitment to complementing a distinct genre bending sound
   to top-notch musicianship has set them apart from many of their  conte
 mporaries and keeps music lovers eagerly returning to shows.\nUltraviole
 t HippopotmamusUltraviolet  Hippopotamus is an explosive five-piece prog
 ressive improvisational  band with a rapidly growing fan base across the
  U.S. and  Europe. Described as &ldquo\;brightening the future of the ja
 m band scene\,&rdquo\;  Ultraviolet Hippopotamus mixes tight\, funky jam
 s with new dance beats\,  heartfelt lyrics\, compelling composition\, ec
 centric effects and a  vibrant light show for an incredible\, one-of-a-k
 ind musical experience.  Known for its on-stage musical alchemy &ndash\;
  cultivated from years of  relentless touring &ndash\; the band performs
  an eclectic selection of  technically demanding compositions and improv
 ised material along with  unconventional and fun covers.The band recentl
 y joined the  rooster at Hoplite where founding partners Tom Baggott and
  Chris Cate  have presided over the  foundational career development of 
 Disco Biscuits\, Sound Tribe Sector 9\,  Railroad Earth\, Ryan Montbleau
  Band\, Zach Deputy and many other smaller  artists. Through time spent 
 at other agencies or in other roles ranging  from artist management\, to
 ur management\, production\, marketing and  management over the last 20+
  years\, they also participated in the career  growth of Agents of Good 
 Roots\, Johnny Winter\, Michelle Shocked\, The  Radiators\, Tim Reynolds
 \, Victor Wooten and many more. The band is now  being managed and booke
 d by the agency which has already led to bigger  and better touring oppo
 rtunities. Ultraviolet  Hippopotamus also just spent time in the studio 
 recording a huge  musical composition\, details of which will be release
 d later this year. The band is extremely proud of the work and can't wai
 t for it to reach fans.  The group deftly journeys between funk\, jazz\,
  livetronica\, space  rock\, reggae\, bluegrass\, and progressive rock w
 ithin a single show and\,  sometimes\, within a single song. Exploring n
 ew ground and taking risks  make every performance unique\, and fans are
  never sure what exactly the  band will deliver each night\; other than 
 exceptional music.  Anyone remotely familiar with the &lsquo\;jam band s
 ound&rsquo\; will immediately  recognize Ultraviolet Hippopotamus&rsquo\
 ; influences and genre-mixing musical  objectives\, but the band adds a 
 level of talent\, intricacy and polish  that truly sets it apart. Tight\
 , energetic jams and outstanding vocals &mdash\;  a true rarity among th
 e band&rsquo\;s peers &mdash\; coupled with the act&rsquo\;s  spontaneit
 y and strong songwriting add to its appeal. The word is out\,  and the b
 and is quickly developing into an international sensation.  Ultraviolet 
  Hippopotamus' highly  praised third album\, &ldquo\;Square Pegs\, Round
  Holes\,&rdquo\; reached No. 3 and spent  much of the year in the top 25
  of the Relix Magazine/Jambands.com  National Radio Chart and was voted

 etwork. It also received similar nominations  from several radio program

 ves airplay across the U.S. as well as  internationally in Italy\, Brazi
 l\, France\, Switzerland\, England\, Spain\,  Germany and other countrie
 s.\nVIDEO:http://secondstorygarage.com/ultraviolet-hippopotamus-tugboat/
