The Tragically Hip

Formed in 1983 in Kingston, Ontario, this Canadian rock band has produced over ten critically acclaimed studio albums and have enjoyed immense success in their native Canada, but are yet to thoroughly penetrate the global music scene, although they do have dedicated followings in the United States and Europe.

Their music can be described as 'the thinking man's rock.' It can range from bluesy or folksy rock to prog-rock, but can always be set firmly into the 'Alternative' archetype. Their songs are marked by driving guitar, masterful solos, and lead singer Gord Downie's poignant, humorous, and remarkably poetic lyrics.

The Hip are renowned for their fantastic, frenetic live shows. Whether in small nightclub venues in the U.S. or in sold-out arena shows, you can be sure to enjoy a lively, involving rock spectacle enhanced by Gord Downie's spastic on-stage antics and improvisation.

For a solid sampling of The Hip, check out the albums Fully Completely, Phantom Power, Up to Here, and In Between Evolution.

The Tragically Hip are one of the best rock bands of the past twenty years.

shoot from the hip

Literally, it means to fire a pistol or firearm from the hip, instead of raising it up to aim properly. Slangwise it means to improvise or guess about the results of an action.

No time, gotta shoot from the hip

joined at the hip

absolutely inseparable, (implying as inseparable as conjoined twins attached at the hip)

The pastor was joined at the hip with his church. He just wouldn't leave.

aus hip hop

Australian hip hop music began in the late 1980s, primarily influenced by hip hop music and culture imported via radio and television from the United States of America. Since the late 1990s, a distinctive local style has developed. Australian hip hop is a part of the underground music scene with only a few successful commercial hits in the last decade. Albums and singles are released by mostly independent record labels, often owned and run by the artists themselves.

Poop hip

The build up of gas in your lower abdomen that causes you to feel like there's a turd sitting on your hip bone.

Look at how Dave is wiggling around in pain. He must have some serious poop hip going on.
