At first listening to the evocative sounds of Blue Hippopotamus seem to transcend you into a world of mystery and desire. The haunting lyrics combined with Caitlin Jaene’s sultry voice could warm your skin on the coldest of days.
Their sound is surprisingly imaginative and fresh in a time where it’s hard to decipher one band from the next. After a few transitions with band members, Blue Hippo comes back with a renewed intensity on their latest EP “Volume 2.” The title track, “Superhero‘s” lyrics purr a scenario of love and hurt that reward deeper analysis.
This up and coming band has an almost indescribable ethereal feel that conjures up memories of passion we aren’t quite ready to forget.

BIO:
BLUE HIPPOPOTAMUS: (named for the artifact of Ancient Egypt used for protection in the journey to the afterlife) is comprised of 3 established musicians who all met while touring in other bands. The members of Blue Hippopotamus decided to come together on this project, focusing on creating something truly original and completely their own. The goal is to do something that the band believes in, and is completely honest about, disposing of all limitations and surpassing the dark cloud that has been left over the music industry. Blue Hippopotamus is taking chances musically, utilizing their different influences to create their unique sound. Thank you for taking the time to check out, Blue Hippopotamus. *Copyright 2004-2009 HippopotaMusic/clmsongs (BMI)
