What if Kurt Cobain and Ariana Grande had a Pokémon together? You'd end up with something like Hiqpy. This four-headed creature is playful and a bit rebellious. Superpower: It spits out flames of echoing ad-libs and fuzzy guitars.
In 2023, the Amsterdam indie rock band Hiqpy participated in Popronde as a 3voor12 Talent. With each show, the reviews grew more glowing, and their inbox filled with industry emails. A 15-minute performance at Noorderslag 2024 was enough to convince the rest of the Netherlands of Hiqpy's right to exist. And this was before they had released a single note of music. “Hiqpy is suddenly the next big thing, even though there’s nothing on Spotify yet,” headlined NRC (national newspaper).
The fifteen minutes in Groningen led to more than forty festival shows in 2024. From Paaspop, Appelpop, and Bevrijdingspop Haarlem to Best Kept Secret and Into The Great Wide Open, where 'De Kuil' stage was already too small for the growing Hiqpy hype. In 2024, the band won the Zonneprijs for musical talent, was included in EKKO’s Class of 2024, and was named Record Store Day Talent. The 7” LP with two live tracks they released in limited edition became a collector’s item. Not surprising, as apart from two videos on YouTube, the magic of Hiqpy had so far only been experienced live.
