You're in for an awesome night when you catch'em from start to finish. All five guys are excellent musicians, and they search out great sounds from all genera. Ultraviolet Hippopotamus uses creative originals and obscure treasures from others... often creations from friends met along the way... to treat you to one remarkable surprise after another! Even when Ultraviolet Hippopotamus breaks into a favorite everyone knows, there's still a 'never been here before' feel to it. They don't cover a song. They re-create it.I've been thinking about that strange name. After hearing them, I realize ultraviolet isn't a color... it's a wavelength. As for the hippopotamus... enjoy the ride." -Bill Beckwith 100.9 FM Big Rapids, Michigan____________________________________________________ __________________________________ click Here To Go To Family Groove Company's Official Website - Listen To Tunes & Check Out The PicturesFamily Groove Company is a four piece band from Chicago that is turning heads and catching ears with a sound that is uncannily fresh, and live performances that simply envelop audiences in the fun, excitement and passion that the band radiates from the stage. Growing audiences everywhere FGC plays attest to the impact the band is beginning to make, as they bring the excitement of their live performances to ever growing venues, in more and more cities across the country. Appearances at most of the Midwest's major music festivals (Summer Camp, 10,000 Lakes, Summerfest) have helped along the way, headlining appearances at other festivals (Farmapalooza, Feel Good) point to the great things to come, and the over 25,000 live CDs that have been distributed all over the country speak for themselves. Family Groove Company is a band that music fans should not miss.FGC integrates the groove sensibility developed by funk/jazz crossover artists like Herbie Hancock and Medeski, Martin, and Wood, with thoughtful, tight song writing that takes cues from the likes of Steely Dan and the Beatles. The result? An infectious, fresh sound the band calls "groove informed jazz/rock". In April 2006, FGC released their second studio album, The Charmer, and delivered on this sonic vision with uncommon clarity and excitement. Jazz harmonic ideas encounter thick grooves, andimprovisation negotiates tight song writing, as each track brings shape and contour to the band's sound. A fierce attentiveness to composition complements FGC's passion for improvisation, and the band offers a sound that captivates audiences ranging from the most casual music fan to the most critical musician.
