Baby Baby are the second act of the evening.



"A cluster-fuck of joyful noise with a wide variety of influences and stylings, this album is a wild ride spawned from the recklessly creative minds of four fun-loving dudes from Georgia. You can hear the sunshine in the music, with punky beats & riffs echoing sounds from the era of Sublime, dashes of harder punk like Fugazi, and definite influences of hard liquor mixin’ with testosterone. Throw this album in at your next party, dump the Everclear in the Jungle Juice and get crazy already! It’s evident that the only thing to be done with this album is to pop it in, get fucked up, get loud, and jump around. Sounds like a good time, right? Best get the album." -P.Buchanan / Slug Magazine

Mary Magdalan is performing at the Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

Mary Magdalan will be performing at The Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, July 13th, 2011



"For all that Los Angeles has a reputation for being a bastion of mainstream conformity, it's also always had a darker side. Over the years L.A. has produced groundbreaking alternative bands like Jane's Addiction or X. Mary Magdalan is the latest band to chronicle the seedy underbelly of the city. Mary Magdalan is a female singer backed by co-writer Gzus H. and other musicians and this is their first release (being sold through their My Space page).

Mary is the daughter of 2 heroin addicts and was herself a drug addict for many years before getting clean and finding solace in music. And Pity Girl does undoubtedly reflect that experience with all its attendant anger and fucked-up sadness. I often have trouble marrying up celebrity drug addicts with the music they produce as it simply doesn't seem to be an accurate reflection of their life and feelings. However, Mary and her band have done an excellent job in capturing the intense emotional experience of drug addiction. She has an amazingly strong voice, screaming with raw emotion and raging against her situation. Sometimes her vocal delivery is so fast and accurate that it has more of a rap influence. But she is always backed by some really strong metal --- furious drumming and powerful guitar riffs that create an almost overwhelming wall of sound. They've also managed to produce some really catchy songs in the likes of Rehab and I Should Kill You." - Pussy Rock Fanzine

Eryn Woods will be performing first.



Recently featured on MTV’s The Jersey Shore,VH1’s Beverly Hills Fabulous and VH1’s Mob Wives. Eryn Woods is a 21 year old Louisiana native out to redefine the image of the “pop princess.” The black swan of the bubble gum world, Eryn has been touring the nation and rallying her “kupcake” army in an effort to change the status quo. “Everything isn’t glitter and glam, even with all the fame,” notes Woods. “It’s about finding yourself and maturing, and owning the blood, sweat, and tears, it takes to get there.”

Eryn’s career gained momentum in 2005 after reaching the semi-finals of Gospel Dream, a nationally televised solo vocal competition, where she caught the eye of Grammy nominated singer Kelly Price. Her musical pedigree includes five years of vocal training and over 12 years of combined musical study.

“Hollywood” conjures up the images of “making it,” and this is at the core of Holl.E.Woods. The entire album is centered around the dichotomy of what the general public deems as “normal” and what is “real,” and celebrates the individuality of people.

Revocation will be performing at the Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, July 9th

Revocation have cancelled due to a member having pneumonia, Wolves & Jackals and Death Of Kings are performing still at The Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, July 9th



Revocation returns with a new album of masterful modern metal in Chaos of Forms. Unforgettable songs bend, stop, twist, and shred at virtuosic levels while exploding with frenetic energy. As future classics “Cradle Robber”, “Dissolution Ritual”, “No Funeral”, “Cretin” and more show, each aspect of the band has been honed to deadly perfection and brings to fruition the promise that (the previous full-length) Existence Is Futile hinted at. Chaos of Forms proves beyond doubt that REVOCATION are masters of their craft and metal’s finest new band.

"absolutely godlike death/thrash." - Decibel

"a whirlwind of methodical metal in its highest form; aggressive, heavy, challenging, melodic and oftentimes, dare I say, fun as fuck to listen to." - Metal Maniacs

"Taking the excellent dynamics of Pestilence with the visceral intensity of Sepultura and the technical prowess of Carcass combined with shredding extensive leads and solos Revocation are a band that is going places." - Masterful-Magazine.com



Revocation on Facebook

Wolves & Jackals will be performing second.



Wolves & Jackals is a destructive, unrelenting force preparing for the apocalypse that will consume us all. Patrons of God's left hand, they incite the legacy of pain and suffering onto mere mortals. Words spoken through them. The gospel of death.

Coming out of Atlanta, GA, Wolves & Jackals fuse together styles from thrash (Slayer, At the Gates), black metal (Behemoth, 1349), death metal (Suffocation, Carcass), and hardcore (Burnt by the Sun, Converge) to construct a driving force of speed and vigorous brutality. LaMar George unleashes pain and torment with his screams and terror through his guitar. Troy Bedingfield lets forth Hell Fire through his solos. Michael Green storms on the drum kit, shattering nerves with every strike. Mikhail Loginov shakes the bowels of hell with his bass. Together, they trigger the bloodthirsty onslaught on humanity that is Wolves and Jackals.

Swank Sinatra headline the Drunken Unicorn on Friday, July 8th, 2011

Swank Sinatra are performing at The Drunken Unicorn on Friday, July 8th, 2011.



Swank Sinatra is a D.I.Y. Rock n’ Roll band that formed in Atlanta in September of 2004. Our goals are to melt faces and take names. We want to climb a tall mountain just to start an avalanche. We would sail a ship just to watch it sink. We would rob the rich just to give to the poor. We are the ever living, ever breathing, light at the end of the Rock n' Roll tunnel. We are aggressive, fun, and frantic.

In all reality, Swank Sinatra is the brainchild of the slightly disturbed minds of Bob Place and Brandon Pittman, friends since childhood. Now joined by Randy Garcia, we are surely a force to be reckoned with. We have been fortunate enough to play such wonderful events as: New Orleans Jazz Festival, Dragon*Con, 500 Songs For Kids, and Nophest just to name a few. We have also played live for Comcast OnDemand, as well as been featured on XM Satellite Radio, as well as other various forms of radio and television. We have played a lot of shows, met even more cool people, and even learned a little along the way.

Swank Sinatra is simply here to provide people with Rock n' Roll music that will make you move and not give a shit. We have released 2 records so far, and are currently working on our newest release “El Terrible” which is set for release in 2011. We enjoy writing songs about homeless people, pirates, ladies, shoes, ships, our hate of disco, and breakfast. We also enjoy long walks on the beach and candle-lit dinners. Much like the Highlander, there can be only one Swank Sinatra.

Hip To Death are the third performer this evening.



"“It is all about the look, right? We are all so hip to death,” ponders John Breedlove, frontman for local post-punk outcasts Hip to Death while mocking trend victims with genuine contempt on the band’s upcoming album, Punk Will Never Die, But You Will.

Breedlove evokes an allegory of a wannabe surfer dude to capture the essence of his music. “The album has some really grimy punk elements to it. Picture a poser going surfing for the first time and really bailing. Crushing the reef against their skin and cutting his or herself really bad, getting back on it and trying it again. Now, whether folks like it or not, that poser earned some respect by taking the fall. This album is the soundtrack to that.”

Releasing albums on cassette tape has been catching on lately, and sure enough, HTD’s album will arrive as a transparent red tape. But Breedlove denies that he’s jumping on anyone else’s train. Rather, releasing the music on cassette is an ode to his past. “I had tapes all throughout high school,” he says. “I was a Sonic Youth junkie and grunge addict. I wore baggy corduroy pants and used to skate with an old Sony Walkman tape player. Putting it out on cassette is a way to rehash old memories.”

Though Hip to Death keeps it raw and untamed musically, the band likes to keep it real when it comes to matters of the Atlanta scene. “Have a heart and be good to each other,” he adds. “Don’t be scared to play with different bands every now and then. Come get some!”" - Nadia Lelutiu / Creative Loafing Atlanta

Mind Powers are performing second.



Mind Powers was born in Columbus, Georgia. Fresh from the womb, the band began to construct their own brand of rock. Drawing influences from punk and noise rock, comic books, and hangovers, the band describes their sound as "Nerd Noise." They prove the title true in their music, which contains many tongue-in cheek references to sci-fi films, video games, superheroes, and influences such as Mclusky, The Stooges, and Black Sabbath shine through.

The young three piece have been writing and roaming the southeast for just over a year now, and in May they will release their first EP, titled "Ampeaters."

Monitors from Birmingham, AL are the first act.



"Monitors is Jackie Sullivan's, formerly of Tin Kitchen and Little Lungs, new band out of Birmingham, Alabama. Jackie plays drums on this release. It's a departure from her emo and pop-punk influenced bands of the past, but awesome all the same. Monitors is more of a good ol' rock 'n' roll band-- something you can dig if you're into bands like Ted Leo & the Pharmacists or Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. That's pretty sweet, I must say. What you get are two rock ragers and a slower song." - Star Beat Music / Star Beat Music

Ringo Deathstarr are performing at the 529 on Thursday, July 7th

Ringo Deathstarr are performing on Thursday, July 7th, 2011 at The 529.



"Ringo Deathstarr were originally formed in 2005 by singer and guitarist Elliott Frazier in his hometown of Beaumont, TX, but after moving to the more musically happening climes of Austin, he stabilized a final lineup with guitarist Renan McFarland, bassist Alex Gehring, and drummer Dustin Gaudet. Ringo Deathstarr's self-titled debut, a five-song EP, was released by the British label SVC Records in the fall of 2007. After a few more years of playing shows, shuffling members before settling on Gehring and drummer Daniel Coborn, and honing their sound, the band was signed by the U.K. label AC30 after making a big splash at their Reverence festival in 2010. The band's first album, Colour Trip, was released by AC30 in the winter of 2010, then was licensed by Sonic Unyon for release in Canada." - Stewart Mason / All Music

Abby Gogo will be the second performer of the evening.



abby gogo is a psychedelic rock band from Atlanta, GA. Originally formed in late 2004 by twin brothers Jon and Bon Allinson in Tuscaloosa, AL, abby gogo migrated to Atlanta in 2007. Crafting jangly, dreamy, wall-of-sound rock’n’roll, they meld mid-90s indie rock styling with elements of shoegaze and droning rock. Their influences include: My Bloody Valentine, Spacemen 3, the Telescopes, Loop, Ride, and others.

This Piano Plays Itself will be performing first.



"The Georgian quartet have a guitar-driven shoegaze sound that reminds me of Explosions In The Sky or Slint, with billowing movements and more layers than Trident’s latest marketing gimmick. I’m not sure if you’ve got a set of superb speakers or rock out your tunes on ear buds, but “Who We Were” jams out like something epic on a stellar set of headphones. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to experience This Piano Plays Itself in person soon." I Guess I'm Floating

The Young Maths will be performing on Wednesday, July 6th at The Drunken Unicorn



We want to play the game at the highest level. We want to become THE currency by which youth culture is bought and sold. We want to SAVE ROCK AND ROLL so that our t-shirts will be worn in the next summer action blockbuster by millionaire placeholders. We want to scare old white people and enthrall their children, so that we may in turn become soft and rich and fearful of the next wave of youth culture marketing. We have our first reunion tour planned. We will kill on t-shirt sales alone. We realize that we are not selling music; we are selling product, and our product is progress. We want to antagonize established artists and then patch things up at awards ceremonies, creating ratings bonanzas for everybody involved. We want to donate all of our blood money to fashionable causes. We want to preach about the evils of capitalism from expensive microphones in million-dollar studios. We want it all.

New Animal will be performing first.




"When you really dig independent music, whether as a fan or a blogger, there’s almost no better feeling than stumbling upon a promising young band that no one’s ever heard of… especially when that band is as talented and exciting as New Animal. Just two dudes from Atlanta, Kris Hermstad and Derek Burdette have labored over 15 tracks and 75 minutes of music in styles ranging from bedroom pop to exp. psych pop to anthemic kraut rock. The more the merrier — they don’t fit some simple category, no “RIYL” recommendations abound. Seemingly from the heart, or from the mind, or from the gut, but at least from somewhere within. They don’t cop someone else’s sound and fuzz the hell out of it to mask their theft. They aren’t hopping on the latest genre bandwagon. Listen for yourselves!" - I Guess I'm Floating

The Booze are performing at The Drunken Unicorn on Friday, July 1st, 2011.



"Surefooted, totally convincing 21st-century take on that late-’60s Stones sound. It’s a pleasure and more than a little of a relief to hear a band with the talent and aptitude to handle this particular twangy, rough-edged side of the rock idiom with clean production technique and honest to goodness songwriting chops. Weary I get of muddy, fatigued by excessive reverb. From the crisp acoustic strumming to the resonant bend of that countrified guitar to the spot-on backing singers, “Kick Me Where It Hurts” oozes both authenticity and proficiency. This is a highly recommended combination for anyone seeking a future in this brave new digital music world of ours.

And this thing isn’t just about a retro vibe. Vocalist Chaz Tolliver brings his own slightly vulnerable oomph to the Jaggeresque performance, greatly assisted by the song’s lyrical and melodic fluidity. Note how the chorus is very close in melody and spirit to the verse and yet completely separates itself. This makes the song feel really really solid, even as Tolliver sings like someone not quite recovered from his previous night’s binge. I think the pivotal moment is when we modulate from major to minor (first heard at 0:38), grounding us in a moment of poignancy (listen to Tolliver’s plaintive “Mama…”) before rolling onward. The lyrics, meanwhile, shine with an offhanded, Let It Bleed-like dexterity. “Stumbled on the D train in my military coat,” the second verse begins, just perfectly.

“Kick Me Where It Hurts” will be found on the the album At Maximum Volume, to be released next month on Underrated Records. It’s the hard-working band’s fifth in four years. MP3 via Underrated. Thanks to Consequence of Sound for the lead." - Fingertips Music Blog
