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. 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 2004-2010 HippopotaMusic/clmsongs (BMI)
