6/24/08 - New Album Available!

   Busy busy busy... who isn't?  Our plate has been mighty full the past few months in preparation for the new album Dripping Faucet.  The full-length album is now available at hip-O shows for $10, and filled with twelve songs debuting the new sound. Soon, it will be available for purchase through itunes, our website, and independent record stores!!

 Thanks to all those who came out for our triple-header weekend, kicked off by the pre-release of our new album at the Monkey's Tale.  We also want to thank The Vogue and Ekoostik Hookah for having us out Friday night.  We had a great time in Michigan City on Saturday with Funkshoe, and look forward to coming back to the Shoreline Brewery soon.

We will be postponing Thursdays at The Monkey's Tale until further noted.  We apologize for the inconvienience and late notice with this week's show. 

hip-O's "Introlude" has been voted number 1 in the Jamband category on ourstage.com for the month of May.  Thanks for voting and keep listening!

5/12/08 - The Dripping Faucet

Two shows, one weekend. Spin Thurs, Tiptop Sat. 

   I haven't left myself much time to write you, but at least you've got yourself the flyer for this upcoming Thursday show over there in Broadripple.  The Indy Uprising Live & Local Showcase - conveniently located, reasonably priced at a $3 cover - proves to be a diverse line-up of original music!  This will be our first time performing with Landon Keller, Marion Square, and Rivetshack, and I'm certain we'll all be enjoying the scattered thunderstorms and local music supercell that will be Spin Nightclub Thursday night!

   Follow up with us at TipTop tavern (14th & Capitol) two days later, this Saturday, with Sonny Knows Paco and Zmick!  That's all I have time for for now.  Thanks for joining us at hip-Oband.com, and check out the contacts page to join our email list.

4/30/08 - Hump Day at Hideaway

   Two stage pics in a row, I know - but the lighting was just too good to pass up! This one's from Kinetic Playground.  -  David

   The music rang out into the night over Louisville during Derby week as hip-O rocked the night away.  Traveling just over two hours away for the second time in seven days, hip-O drew out old friends and new fans alike!  We'll be returning to the Hideaway Saloon again the last Wednesday in May - we love you, Kentucky, and hope to see more of you later this May!

4/16/08 - Mastering / Traveling / Writing / Jamming

   hip-O's keeping themselves busy this week in preparation for a weekend and a half coming up.  First, we have a three group showcase at Birdy's on Friday, 4/25.  Saturday, we head north to Chicago for the 10,000 Lakes Cosmic Break tour, where we'll compete with local and regional acts for a spot in this summer's 10KLF. A few days later, we enter the Louisville scene at Hideaway Saloon - an all hip-O, all night jam starting at 11:00.  It's a $4 dollar cover for four hours of jam inspired funk rock.

   Check out the upcoming shows we have for you in May - and be ready to hear/see/have our upcoming album, Dripping Faucet, in summer '08!
