Bluetip was an American rock band from Washington, D.C., forming in March 1995 by ex-members of Swiz. They released four albums, an EP, and a number of singles before splitting up in January 2002. Originally, the band was to be named The Ohio Blue Tip, however the name was shortened to Bluetip early on. In 2001, when Farrell moved to New York, the band eventually folded. Farrell and Joe Gorelick from Bluetip continued making music in a very similar vein under the band name Retisonic, starting in 2002, with Jim Kimball on bass. The band Red Hare was formed in 2013 by three former members of Bluetip (Farrell, Gorelick, and Dave Stern) and three former members of both Swiz and Sweetbelly Freakdown (Farrell, Stern, and Shawn Brown. The band has been known to performs Swiz songs in some live performances, in addition to original Red Hare songs.
