Bio
hyp-no-pot-a-mus [hip-noh-pot-uh-muhs] -noun A five-headed funky mammal, borne of the fabled wormhole at the edge of the universe and ridden straight to your ears by a scant clad Valkyrie. Known for its mystical properties, such as the power to set a dead dance floor aflame, this cosmic creature will captivate and intoxicate, dilate your mind, and inflate your soul.
Hypnopotamus is relentless funky beats with soulful melodies; an irresistible groove sure to make heads nod and hips shake. Comprised of drummer Brad Schroeder, saxophonist Matt Simmerman, guitarist Michael Kelly, bassist Sean Ellis, and keyboardist Eric Cline, this quintet draws upon old-school funk, hip-hop, soul, and jazz to create their unique sound. With a quickly growing catalog of original material and a number of chioce covers, Hypnopotamus is setting up shows across the midwest and is keeping the funk alive in Madison.
