Nü Sensae are headlining the Drunken Unicorn on Monday, March 19th, 2012.
"Vancouver’s Nu Sensae is a whirlwind. An old LP by them opened with a sampled news story about Jayne Mansfield’s decapitation in a car crash and that serves as a tongue-in-cheek warning: they’re disorienting and momentous, heading right off a cliff. Daniel Pitout’s drums are like a car driving way too fast at night towards the edge with vocalist and guitarist Andrea Lukic in the passenger seat wailing panicked. Their latest 7-inch Tea Swamp Park for Fast Weapons is streaming below, and it’s a slightly new direction for them. It’s still pounding, for sure, but Lukic’s shrill tones are undercut with some haunting, ghostly vocals from Pitout, just a tad bit softer." - The Fader
*LUCKY* here at the Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, March 17th.
The featured performers are
NNXT
A rare one-woman electropop powerhouse, NNXT arrived in the new music scene with a bang. She sets herself apart from today’s pop princesses and electronic artists with her strong vocals, frisky lyrics and energetic beats, which she writes, produces and records herself in her home-based studio.
ElectroGlamPop has never had this much heart. Haute sick beats, a killer groove, and an 80's vibe explode from this powerful talent. It's hard to believe that only 2 years ago, he was told that every heart beat could be his last. Now, better than ever, Barry Brandon has kicked heart failure and will blow your mind with his debut EP, "Scar 2 Star"
Cody Marlowe is headlining the Drunken Unicorn on Friday, March 16th, 2012.
Cody Marlowe is a talented singer-songwriter from the small town of Clermont, Georgia. He plays guitar, piano, and harmonica leading as the front man of his Atlanta-based, roots rock, band.
Best Brothers Band are performing before Cody Marlowe.
The Best Brothers bands journey began in the winter of 2009 as they recorded their first demo. Jan 2010 found the group back in the studio, creating what are sure to be hits, Play with Fire and This is what is Feels Like. Minor lilts mixed with haunting harmonies, poignant lyrics and a chorus that will make you move and sing along are just a few reasons why these songs make you stop and listen.

Memes who are performing on Wednesday, March 14th here at The Drunken Unicorn.
Mike sings, plays a guitar and a sampler.
Matt plays some sort of guitar, and some other things, and sings sometimes.
Rene plays the hell out of some drums.
Daymoths is a two-piece pop-rock ensemble from the Twin Cities, Minnesota featuring Emily Dantuma on piano/organs and vocals and Ollie Dodge on drum kit and vocals.
This most recent endeavor in their careers has brought them to a stripped down, spacious sound. It is easy on the ears, but still carries hints of the edgy, experimental perspectives these two have become known for in larger bands throughout the past decade as members of Vox Vermillion, Company Inc., and Mr. Mustachio.
Sentimental, but not overly fluffed or cheesed out, solid groovable beats hold down driving piano riffs and meaty organ tones while Dantuma’s sweet serenade becomes a sirens wail at just the right moment.
Pink Pompeii was a song about spilling pink paint on ants.
That song was written by cellist/vocalist Nan Kemberling when she was in the acoustic duo “Da Dum” with guitarist/vocalist Rob Gal.
During the time that Pink Pompeii was a song, Rob Gal was also in the band, “The Holland Dutch,” with guitarist/vocalist Courtney King and Nan went on an orchestral tour in China. When Nan came back, she and Rob wanted to change Da Dum from an acoustic duo to an electronic dance rock trio, as is often the case in similar situations. They asked Courtney to join them in this endeavor and she consented. It was at that time the three decided to multi-purpose the name Pink Pompeii to include their new ensemble as well the established song title.
Nan’s songwriting has not been limited to the song Pink Pompeii, in fact she is a prolific songwriter. Courtney never lets the fact that she didn’t write Pink Pompeii slow her down for even a moment. She too incessantly puts the pen to paper and between her and Ms. Kemberling, the music spews like hot lava from the very mouth of Mount Vesuvius.
Mr. Gal’s role in all this is that of instrumentalist and co-arranger. After all, he has been a producer, engineer and musician for decades.
Above all, each Pink Pompeiilian is a born entertainer determined to “bring it” to the people at every chance. The band is well groomed in every sense of the word and proud of it!
