SOLD OUT! - The Black Lips - Tuesday, December 31st at The Drunken Unicorn


The Black Lips are appearing at The Drunken Unicorn on Tuesday, December 31st, 2013 for a SOLD OUT performance.



What do you do when you're sixteen and in deep shit? You’re looking out at the world from the strip-mall and the detention hall, from the basement and the cul-de-sac and it just looks like there is a wall around you. Everybody tells you and your friends that you’re going nowhere, that your lives are already ruined. What the fuck do you do?.

Subsonics are performing first.



At long last, SUBSONICS have descended again upon the denizens of the steamy rock’n’roll jungle with their first album in five years, "In the Black Spot" (Slovenly Recordings 702-112)! Subsonics have been called the "Best band in Atlanta" by fellow Georgians BLACK LIPS and for good reason: previous works by this beatnik, noir-punk careen machine have left indelible marks, or black spots if you will, on the psyche of big-bam-boom-shang-a-lang rockers the world over during their nearly two-decade tenure.

Royal Bangs has always been a band going in two directions at once. Over the course of three full-lengths, the Knoxville, Tennessee band has kept pace with the indie rock vanguard, maturing through leftfield guitar pop and MIDI dancefloor theatrics to 2011’s freedom-prog fuzzfest FLUX OUTSIDE, which found the band pared down to its creative core of Ryan Schaefer, Chris Rusk, and Sam Stratton.

Small Black will be appearing at The Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, November 13th, 2013.



Formed at the tail-end of 2008 as a bedroom recording project, Small Black first made waves with their eponymous debut EP. Recorded in the attic of singer Josh’s uncle’s remote Long Island beach-house/surfboard workshop, it served as an ideal introduction to the group with its pulsing patchwork synths and addictive, stay-gold hooks that seemed to unfurl themselves gradually over repeated listens.

Five Knives - Friday, November 8th, 2013 at The Drunken Unicorn


Five Knives are coming to The Drunken Unicorn on Friday, November 8th, 2013.



Five Knives started in the underground basement party scene in Nashville. Or, was it the story that they met at a club while traveling in Europe? So much mystery surrounds this band that it has become a moot point really. What does matter, is that they churn out bombastic dark electronic tunes that stir up emotion and make you never want to leave the dance floor.

Attention System are performing before Five Knives.



ATTENTION SYSTEM has created an institution based on hybridizing the sweaty, three-in-the-morning dance music they love with the guitars and drums they can’t seem to put down.

Braids - Wednesday, November 6th, 2013 at The Drunken Unicorn


Braids will be appearing at The Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, November 6th, 2013.



Braids, the Canadian experimental pop group who released Native Speaker in 2011, have reinvented themselves in the making of their second full length, "Flourish // Perish". After 18 months of touring in support of their debut, along with the departure of a band member, the group secluded themselves in their Montreal studio for a year of writing and recording. While Native Speaker was written in an organic and live environment, the group sought to explore a more introspective and electronic approach to songwriting. Sonically, the songs from these sessions are delicate and tight, yet thoughtfully open up to the rich lushness reminiscent of their older material. Lyrically they are honest and vulnerable, demonstrating the group’s emotional growth and maturity since their last record.





Braids on Facebook

Hundred Waters are appearing before Braids.



Hundred Waters was woven together under the spell of a viscous Floridian summer, from a home on its own in the woods amidst a city. The music sets sail into ancient seas, subtly shifting through worlds of howling silence, borealic tales, and briarpatched exotica, ultimately arriving into the arms of a caring embrace.





Hundred Waters on Facebook

Kodak To Graph is performing first.



Allured by pulsing incantations of cassette grain & VHS blips, live instrumentation and other found sounds, Kodak To Graph's Michael Maleki (22) delicately floats listeners through blooming clouds of synth-washes, haunting reverberations, and propulsive rhythms.
