closed act

A week later, on Dec. 16th, Hipgnosis acts with Retrospective & Inside Again in Rudeboy Club(Bielsko-Biała).

Recall that the album "Relusion" was released late last year by the label belonging to the Hipgnosis-Art (Rock Serwis distribution), and gained recognition from the fans and critics, including taking first place among Polish records in the summary of 2011 program "Night Music Landscapes" (and fifth in the classification of 'global') in one of the primary polish radio, as well as reaching the top spot of best-selling Rock service. That was the same situation as with the debut album "Sky Is The Limit"

This music can’t be clearly categorized, as it is written in one of the reviews it is "the result of a thousand influences, listening to different music cultures, openness to himself and the people around."

The band was formed in Krakow in 2004. The name is a play on words, it echoes many meanings and references. Musicians worked with many bands before this project, but Hipgnosis is "point zero" for them and re-birth, so their musical past isn't very important for creativity of this group.

Consequently, they don’t include their photos anywhere, or do not give names, they want to convince the listeners to themselves only by the sounds. Don’t expect during the concert too many announcements from the scene and attempts to verbal contact with fans - they say, that they don’t want distract either themselves or the audience

Members of the band:
SeQ - drums, keyb, electronics
KuL - vocal
PiTu - bass, vocal
ThuG - keyboards
IjoN - keyboards
Prince Olo - guitar
