Vocalist Kiirstin Kuhi left her former post-hardcore band and founded Hip Like [blank] with her pianist/cardsharp brother Mikal in late 2007. Since then, they’ve done little else but write songs and play as many shows as possible in the greater New York area—from bars and poetry clubs to opening for nationally touring acts.
With songs that are at once intimate and grandiose, playful and melancholy, Hip Like [blank] draw from jazz, rock, hip-hop, folk and pop to create a sound as unique and idiosyncratic as the siblings Kuhi themselves. Find their eponymous debut EP in stores across New Jersey or online at HipLikeBlank.com.
Unuka Records first signee, Hip Like [blank], can also be found on myspace, facebook, last.fm, ilike, purevolume and virb.
