PFH Productions presents:

Frontier Sons at the Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, September 14th



The members of Frontier Sons are no strangers to the music scene throughout the southeast. Having played and toured in a few bands in their adolescent years, Andrew Wackerhagen, Daniel Maddox, Rob Royson, and Garrett Eanes came together after almost a year hiatus from music all together. Being friends for years, they were tired of going through the motions with outside musicians and decide to get a house with one another and just start writing music together. They wanted to make a statement with honest straight forward rock n' roll that seems to be lost in the mass of artists now a days. Something seemed to click between the band, and writing just came more natural than ever before. Having gathered a few songs ready to record, Frontier Sons embarked on a massive road trip to record at Fort Worth Sound in Fort Worth, Texas. Returning to South Carolina with a 4 song EP and an ambition to spread their catchy sound. Frontier Sons is looking to spread their brand of southern indie rock n' roll to whoever is caring to hear, through tour, promoting, internet, and everything in between. It's this drive that shows the huge potential these 4 friends have in their music, just take a listen and you'll know, Frontier Sons will make a name for themselves within the music industry.

The Lion In Winter will be the second performer.



To say The Lion in Winter is a new band would be an understatement to singer/songwriter Hunter Duncan and his previous projects (American Religion, Kill Anties). To forward himself from his local past (Kill Anties) he started The Lion in Winter to progress his music into a more mature state. Collaborating with friends and musicians, Thomas Ray (American Religion), Mikey Chappell, and Ryan Alexander, the band has recorded their first EP and are looking to continue work with Regenerate Record Co based out of Cleveland, TN. It's hard to pinpoint a sound for The Lion in Winter, it sways from emotional undertones into a hard driven state of bluesy rock 'n roll. With time on their side, lined up shows, and backing from a record label, the sky surely isn't the limit for these South Carolina musicians.

Pepper Rabbit will be performing second.



"Red Velvet Snow Ball is a haunting and charming sophomore effort by Xander Singh and Luc Laurent, the guys who make up L.A.-based Pepper Rabbit. The band first presented its sound as poppy, upbeat and rock-edged on its debut album, Beauregard, but on Red Velvet Snow Ball, the group drops the rock and dips into experimental sounds, making this a calmer and dreamy endeavor.

“Lake House” opens the album with an ambient melody coupled with a militaristic drum beat. It’s a slower track with many intertwined elements that get more tangled as the song sinks into a murky and static intonation. You enter a more straightforward world of psychedelic pop on “Rose Mary Stretch,” in which you might detect hints of Rogue Wave or Fleet Foxes, while “The Annexation Of Puerto Rico” combines joyful layers of experimental instruments with a peaceful melody.

The album’s first single, “Murder Room,” has a hooking chorus paired with resilient piano and synth melodies. It is a decent display of what the band is capable of, but it doesn’t quite reflect the instrumental achievements shown on the rest of the album. Over the course of Red Velvet Snow Ball, the two-man band augments and varies its sound by incorporating 11 instruments. It took a lot of experimenting, jamming and digression from its old songwriting techniques for Pepper Rabbit to produce such an enjoyable album." - Sasha Patpatia / CMJ

Painted Palms are the first performer of the evening.



"Painted Palms recently turned heads with a killer remix of Lord Huron's "Mighty" (download here), and some of those turning-heads obviously belonged to Secretly Candian. The Indiana-based indie institution inked Painted Palms, offering an immediate digital release and June 21 physical pressing for the band's previously-self-released Canopy EP.

Painted Palms are a pair of cousins from Louisiana recently relocated to the Bay Area. They're a production duo turned five-piece live-band, and their sound is totally 2011 without owing one singular debt to anything.

There's an undeniable post-Panda Bear spirit in the rippling electronics, subverted samples, and sentimental crooning (plus "Water Hymn" sounds like an Animal Collective track title). And the sun-flecked, sea-splattered, rising-and-falling tides of their sound give off vibes of Swedish 'Balearic' acts like Studio and Pacific!, and, of course, the plunderous eternal summers of chillwave.

But the Canopy EP is, if not entirely its own thing, at least good enough to dissuade any doubters. The five-song set comes loaded with pop-songs (listen via their Bandcamp below), and it's the insistent melodies and bubbling harmonies of the duo that signal them as ones to watch.

Reading Rainbow will be performing here on Friday, September 9th

Tight Bros and Ok Productions presents:

Reading Rainbow on Friday, September 9th, 2011 here at the Drunken Unicorn.



"Reading Rainbow, the male-female lo-fi garage-rock duo, owes its name to the children's television show where one-time Star Trek: The Next Generation actor LeVar Burton promotes reading to elementary school children. The Philadelphia-based band owes its sound more to the likes of popsmiths The Vaselines and current indie darlings Dum Dum Girls, with a pinch of good ol' '60s melodies and harmonies thrown in for good measure. With the band's sophomore album, Prism Eyes, Reading Rainbow presents its particular fuzzed-out anachronistic vision in 12 concise pieces of lively and hook-laden bedroom pop." - Frank Valish - Under The Radar



Reading Rainbow on Facebook

Eternal Summers will be performing second.



"Eternal Summers are a band that I am very excited to share with you. There is plenty to love about these guys. I should have posted about them sooner, my dearest apologies to the band, and you. I have deprived you of their lovely tunes for far too long! The band is a male/female duo from Virginia who have grabbed my soul and run away with it. Far, far, away to a land that is drenched in reverb and sprinkled with pop-rock. Their emotions are expressed through affecting melodys and catching riffs. Lead singer Nicole has a warm voice that delights the ears and gives us all the goods via her guitar riffs.

There Eternal Summers EP is delightful listen, full of wonderful songs that have smart pop sensibilities that warmed my spirits. The songs are warm summer anthems that give way to the changing seasons. Songs are short and sweet, cramming all of their tight jams into quick fixes that really work well for the band. When listening to Eternal Summers, you don’t see them as just another reverb lo-fi band. Rather they use reverb and lo-fi qualities to convey a certain feeling, and the feeling makes me feel damn good." - Will / We All Want Something To Shout For

Santah is coming to the Drunken Unicorn on Thursday, September 8th

PFH Productions presents:

Santah on Thursday, September 8th at the Drunken Unicorn.



Santah was born with their heads in the clouds and their feet stuck in the dirty ground. Luckily, right before they grew up for good, a tidal wave swept them up, quick as can be, and sent them teetering across the continent. They howled in confusion when that water came, arms all flailing, their faces purple as raisins. But they rolled back their eyes and just like that, they were in some holy home, right there in their own head, right there on that ocean, riding a wild and blurry-eyed vision, just being the most confused and luckiest boys to ever live or die in the whole goddamn world, just like that, all over the place.



Santah on Facebook

Ocean Is Theory are the third performer of the evening.



"Atlanta pop/rock band Ocean is Theory recently released a free single entitled “Best Intentions” from its upcoming EP Future Fears, available May 23.

The track is decidedly more poppy than most of the band's earlier offerings, which often featured a slightly harder edge. "Best Intentions" rounds out those edges with catchy hooks and more diverse instrumentation.

After two self-released records and years of unrelenting touring, Ocean is Theory found a home with Razor & Tie last November, and Future Fears is the quartet's first release with the independent label. A currently untitled full-length is due on Razor & Tie later this summer." - Eric Brown / Creative Loafing Atlanta



Ocean Is Theory on Facebook

This Piano Plays Itself are the second band of the evening.



"“Psychedelic shoegaze post-rock pop.” That’s the closest Justin Newton, drummer for This Piano Plays Itself, can get to describing his band’s sound. He laughs as he says it. “I hate that question. ‘What do you guys sound like?’ or ‘Who are your influences?’ It’s like asking, ‘Which bands are you trying to rip off?’”

Hailing from Atlanta, This Piano Plays Itself certainly has a sound that defies pigeonholing. There’s no shortage of reverb-heavy guitars and layered effects, yet amid complex swirling soundscapes there are elements of simplicity and space, a testament to the group’s musical maturity. Newton has a massive drum sound and the chops to match, but you won’t catch him overplaying. “I’ve learned it’s more important to stay in the pocket rather than just playing whatever I think sounds rad,” he chuckles." - John Granofsky / Flagpole

Empress Hotel are returning to the Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, September 7th

PFH Productions presents:

Empress Hotel are performing at the Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, September 7th, 2011.



Empress Hotel at it's core is an assembly of musicians from both New Orleans and afar. Spearheading this New Orleans pop ensemble are brothers Ryan and Eric Rogers on guitar and drums, backed by Haché Horchatta from Portland, Maine on bass, and fronted by the ever so amorous Micah McKee on lead vocals and guitar. The music is inspired by 70s one hit wonders such as Ace and The Dwight Twilley Band and drawing influence from legends like Prince, Sparks, and Roxy Music.

Empress Hotel brings a personal, human story to their interpretation of pop songs. It's implemented through stream of consciousness lyrics, dynamic vocal melodies and rhythmic harmonies from individuals who love the glory days and still go see new bands play live more than most. They lust for a music that is inclusive, crowd pleasing and honest. Empress Hotel asks for you to sing along, and dance within it. It wants your company.

Jeffrey BÜTZER will be Performing an original live score to the Buster Keaton short film "Balloonatics"



Old televisions screening work from auteurs, dangling scissors, and an otherwise intricate set make up Jeffrey Bützer’s stage. Without even hearing his music, it becomes obvious that the musician is indebted to the cinema. After listening to only a few minutes of his music, however, the ties become even more apparent. For Bützer, the films he has in mind are set in the same locales as his music: French-inspired Eastern Europe. His first two LP releases, each comprised of short instrumentals, would—and are designed to—fill the soundtracks to such films. While his second release, The Garden of Scissors, accompanied a self-written script, it is his recent score for Raymond Carr’s Wild is the Wind which served as his first on-film release.

When played by the solo musician, Jeffrey Bützer’s music generally comes across as minimal, melodic French musette. With the Bicycle Eaters, however, he maintains a different M.O. Comprised of Bützer on piano, accordion, and glockenspiel, Chad Shivers on guitar, William J. Brigsby on bass, and Eric Balint on xylophone and percussion, the sound comes closer to Ennio Morricone's spaghetti western scores, klezmer, and gyspsy than musette. The melodies and general style of the original songs are intact, but the band attempts to make things more direct, intricate, and engaging with bold strokes.

In addition to performing in Atlanta, his place of residence, Bützer has toured China, Eastern Europe, and the US.

HAWKS are returning to the Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, September 3rd

PFH Productions presents:

HAWKS are headlining the Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, September 3rd.



"Atlanta band HAWKS raises the bar on all fronts with its second album, Rub. Although the songs here still don't capture the raw immediacy of the group's live presence, there's no way to effectively re-create the experience of a naked man jumping out of the speakers and screaming in your face. Instead, the album's full-bodied complexities swell in "A Future Reaping" and the discordant piano and drum tussle of "Holy Day," proving that there's more to HAWKS' abilities than aggressive displays of male angst — although there's plenty of that here, too. "Hung" and "Late Bloomer" are bigger than anything the group brought to the table with its '09 debut, Barnburner. A nod to the Jesus Lizard guides the searing guitar throughout, and vocalist Mike Keenan's lumberjack growl channels the spirit of the entire AmRep legacy. But an experimental trudge fills in the spaces between the monstrous rhythms, giving the album a brutal sense of refinement." - Chad Radford / Creative Loafing Atlanta

Black Skies will be the third performer of the evening.



This Chapel Hill, NC power trio has been tuning down and turning up since late 2005, constantly evolving their aural offerings of psychedelic sludge. With a combination of the foreboding heaviness of blues based proto-metal, the spry attitude and approach of punk, and the dynamics of progressive rock, their songs often project a dark & urgent energy.
Black Skies is: Kevin Clark, Tim Herzog, Michelle Temple

Vaz will be performing second.



Minnesota’s Vaz is one of the rock ‘n roll nuts and represents another major score for the little NYC label that could.

Relatively established in their own right, Vaz was founded some time in the late-ish 90s by refugees from the highly influential noise rock band Hammerhead.

Originally touring about as a two-piece duo, Vaz was generally lumped together with other noise-ified bare-bones rock acts like Lightning Bolt, early Hella, and Pink & Brown.

Little Horn is celebrating the release of "Twelve" on Friday, September 2nd

Little Horn are celebrating the release of their new EP Twelve on Friday, September 2nd, 2011 here at The Drunken Unicorn



Little Horn began when Atlanta musician Keith Forrester wrote some songs about, as per usual, hard stuff he was going through. Being shy and reclusive about singing it wasn’t until a group picking session in Alabama where he was asked to sing a folk song that everyone else had forgotten the words to that his friend Daniel Bellury noticed his potential. After that fateful day Daniel stepped in to encourage and produce the aforementioned songs into recorded existence. The very minimal gothic-folk style album Such Pretty Houses was born and released very quietly on the then infant New York label Whaleheart Records which Daniel had founded to put out his and his friend’s recordings. After some solo and collaborative performances Keith began to miss being in a band and put out a Craigslist ad. The first response was from atlanta music composer extraordinaire Neal Williams. He stepped in on Bass, sound effects, and keys and brought the immensely talented Dallas Peavey with him to do the drums. They performed the songs from Such Pretty Houses albeit in a newly evolved way involving different sounds and ideas brought about by their unique collaboration. This incarnation of Little Horn was short lived and soon it was back to the drawing board. Somewhat discouraged but steadily writing new material Keith, during a stint as guitarist in fellow Whaleheart band Lille, recruited their rhythm section consisting of Steve Brown on drums and Daniel’s little brother Rob Bellury on Bass. Having primarily been acoustic guitar driven Keith started feeling the need for an electric counterpart to accompany his stylized and often elaborate picking patterns. Rob suggested his friend DJ Highum. After one audition and a thorough demonstration of his unique skill DJ was added to the line up rounding off what is know the definitive Little Horn. Since Such Pretty Houses the style and sound has evolved and gotten much bigger. With a dark, southeastern, soul-searching lyrical style accompanied by a not-so-typical low end voice, their lack of shame in wailing their instruments, and having been called any number of combinations of indie, folk, gothic, psychedelic, progressive and rock, Little Horn’s approach is fairly simple: they love what they do, they write what they like, and they hope to be doing it for a long time.

"Radiation City is a Portland four-piece influenced by 60s bossa nova and girl group pop (with bite). Their debut album, The Hands That Take You, is coming out on Tender Loving Empire (Typhoon, Loch Lomond) on September 27.

Band members Cameron Spies and Lizzy Ellison came together through a series of creative collaborations, among them landscaping, cooking and photography. Being on the label side of things and getting sent a ton of music, they decided to try their hand at making their own. After only a few performances they started gaining attention as ‘one of Portland’s most polished and promising young acts’ (Willamette Week)." Lost At E Minor

Lille is performing second.



"Lille is an indie / twee pop band from Atlanta, Georgia. They are fronted by singer/songwriter Grace Bellury, who sings and plays ukelele. On their debut album, a five song EP called Tall Shoulders which was released earlier in the year, their cutesy twee sound is supported by plinking pianos, accordions and the multitracked vocals of Bellury, whose voice provides needed mature undertones to the mix. Her dreamy voice soars above the instruments, evoking Sharon Van Etten on songs like “Melancholera” and the gorgeous 7-minute closer “Blue Coat Boy”, which which features male vocals sung in French harmonizing with Bellury’s intelligent words and lofty “Ooohs”. Tall Shoulders is a promising, albeit slightly generic sounding debut." Lewis & His Blog

Sick Of Sarah are headlining The Lady Killer Tour at the Drunken Unicorn on Thursday, August 25th, 2011



“The women who make up this Minnesota quartet bow at the altar of riot grrls’ days gone by while simultaneously thumbing their noses at scowling chick-rock clichés. The songs are as bracing as they are familiar…. For Fans of: The Breeders, Sleater-Kinney” – SPIN MAGAZINE

“It was an absolute treat touring with SOS this year. They are fun loving, open- hearted girls who play irresistible punk infused pop music with a passion that is truly contagious… The girls are hilarious and wild, and have a charisma and chemistry that I found to be utterly charming..... I think you will too!” -Susanna Hoffs (The Bangles)

“Sick of Sarah is the real deal. This is a true working band who sing write and play for real. They are also cute and funny. They are my friends and they rock.” -Nancy Wilson (Heart)

Hunter Valentine are performing second.



Go in, nail 'em and go home exhausted. Such a simple victory has been the mission of rock bands for decades. It's a noble pursuit; a Do It Yourself mentality that compels musicians to obliterate with powerful songs propelled by live passion and vitality.

That's Hunter Valentine.

Blasting out their inimitable rock since the summer of 2004, Hunter Valentine has blossomed, establishing a devoted fan base via their self-financed eponymous 2005 EP and building on that foundation with their 2007 full-length The Impatient Romantic (True North Records). Razing crowds from coast to coast in their decrepit van, nailing select European and U.S. Cities over the course of 200-plus shows, the trio has garnered an international fan base as they build out of their native Canada. Hunter Valentine are now poised to break through with their gripping follow up Lessons From the Late Night (Tommy Boy/Fontana/Universal).

Raucous and direct, the outfit comprised of vocalist/guitarist Kiyomi McCloskey, bassist Adrienne Lloyd and drummer Laura Petracca exemplifies girls with a united goal, intense friendship, respect and ability that solidifies their edgy albeit refined music. There's no hyperbole when it comes to Hunter Valentine. Everything has a direct message, delivered with a devout refusal for glitz or glamour. The hard line says it all, conveyed by confident, unbridled rock 'n' roll.



Hunter Valentine on Facebook

Vanity Theft are performing first.



The ladies of the Dayton, Ohio, indie-pop band Vanity Theft are young and pretty. Their songs are mostly about past romances. And when they talk, guitarist Brittany Hill, singer-keyboardist Alicia Grodecki, drummer Elyse Driskill, and bassist Lalaine Paras tend to giggle a lot. However, Lalaine, 23, would like to clarify one thing: “We may have vaginas, but we’re not pussies.”

With a moniker that sounds like the name of a Joan Jett B-side, the foursome—who’ll drop their full-length, Get What You Came For, in February via Vigilante Music/Adamant Records—fit right into the storied legacy of all-girl bands bent on debunking benign all-girl conventions. For instance, “we’ve gone through a lot of breakups,” says Elyse. “So for me, a lot of the lyrics are really sarcastic.” The melancholic “Missing Teeth” messes with Auto-Tune to detail an ex’s shortcomings; the highly danceable “Trainwreck” is about finding sexual empowerment in a dysfunctional relationship; and “Bit by Bit” uses stabbing riffs and retro synths to soundtrack being obsessed with the wrong person.

Not surprisingly, the group takes pride in churning out an ear-drum-beating live show. This is not lost on their loyal, grassroots following. In 2009, the group ended up playing the testosterone-centric Warped Tour when it swung by Cincinnati, after their fans rallied to get them the local-band slot. Meanwhile, Vanity Theft has also won over media in the heartland through sheer tenacity.

Pillage and Plunder is performing at the Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, August 24th

PFH Productions presents:

Pillage & Plunder here on Wednesday, August 24th, 2011.



"And then it was time for none other than the awesomely-named Atlanta band Pillage and Plunder. Way back in the day, before the idea of writing a blog had ever even crossed my mind, I saw these guys play during a Crumbling Arches show, and through a rather wacky series of events, I found myself at their very first show in Athens this past Tuesday. Now, to be honest, even if I had never heard of them before this show, their crazy style would have definitely caught my attention anyway. A very unique - one might even call it somehow vampiric - darkness pervaded their songs coupled with a bit of an old school cruise band vibe. But that's not even the most distinctive feature of their sound. I can honestly say I don't think I've ever heard faster tunes in my life than those played by Pillage and Plunder. It was wild! And their energy... Holy jeez! They join the ranks of the few bands I've seen over the years that used the entire stage as their rock playground. I could totally see their songs being used as the soundtrack for a movie scene involving a main character rushing through dark streets towards some meaningful purpose. Then the band wound to an end on quite an awesome note with a newer tune that proved to be my favorite song of the bunch. Their sound was insane, to be sure, but I liked it." - Echoreyn of Athens

Here is a review that Performer Magazine printed of the Rock Science Radio show featuring Demonaut, Order Of The Owl, Mice In Cars and Hail The Titans show that occured at The Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, June 18th, 2011.

"Someone once told this correspondent, “A metal show should make you feel like you just got blown out a 17th-floor window of an exploding skyscraper. You bounced, and you lived, and you’re ready to kick some heads in.” The good men of Demonaut, Order of the Owl, Mice in Cars and Hail the Titans must have gotten the same memo...

The first half of the night ran the gamut of experimental rock. Hail the Titans, from Montgomery, AL and Mice in Cars, “from over there,” took traditional band configurations and turned them on their ears. After a few solid surf metal jams, Hail the Titans guitarist Josh Carples slung his axe over his back and turned to jam out on an optical Theremin. Mice in Cars’ bassist Mark switched between playing straight and dragging a bow across the strings of his guitar, while their drummer Nick took on double-duty on his kit and from the stage went from surf metal to mad science to ambient to harddriving rock and back.

Then the tone of the night took a turn for the Heavy. Order of the Owl took the stage, stared out at their audience and - with nothing more than a look - invited the crowd down the Rabbit Hole to METAL. Their percussion didn’t thrum; it blasted. Clothing rippled against skin like the first wind of a driving storm. People took a step back, but straightened their shoulders and braced forward to weather the blast.

Finally, headliners Demonaut took the stage. The lights dimmed, giving the illusion that the four men on stage had been bathing in blood and murder. With two bassists, Jeff and Joel, guitarist Rod and drummer Dwayne, these men came to thrash. And thrash they did. Little did the audience know, the night had been steadily building to this moment since Hail the Titans’ first chords. Down the Rabbit Hole, indeed, to the Land of Thrashing Metal, Sweat and Darkness."

Baby Baby are returning to the Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, August 20th

PFH Productions presents:

Baby Baby are headlining the Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, August 20th



"Baby Baby's first-ever show played out like a Nelly music video. "We were wearing just regular clothes, but by the end of the set we were nearly butt-naked, in tiny shorts," says frontman/singer Fontez Brooks. "Everyone in the band was shirtless, sweating. Then we realized, why not just play every show like this instead of putting on clothes that we were going to take off anyway?"

And so it's been ever since. Baby Baby live is all about some neon short shorts and a brand of music they've coined "fun rock"— the kind of danceable, primal energy that gets both your adrenal and sweat glands pumping.

"Every so often we play a show and everyone gets naked," Brooks insists. "I shit you not. And it's amazing because it's hot. It's hot, and there's no point in wearing these clothes if you can take them off. And you can take them off. We give you permission. We actually invite you to take your clothes off."

But what's most surprising about this uninhibited, Dionysian scene is what's hiding underneath all that nudity: a brutally honest songwriter who takes his cues from, of all people, Kurt Cobain.

"Let me hit you with some realness," Brooks begins. "A lot of lyricists these days try to be super deep and go over the audience's head. I didn't come from that background. I came from real life. My family was really poor, and that way of thinking never caught up to me. Things that were important to me were, like, women, money… things like that… Growing up, I went to majority black schools, and I wasn't exposed to white culture or rock and roll; it was only hip-hop. When my mom married my stepdad we moved from Florida to Arizona, and I met a dude named Ben who introduced me to this band called Nirvana. If you really broke down Baby Baby live, you could just smell the Nirvana influence: loud guitars, loud drums, swanky bass… and Kurt Cobain's lyrics were always just really honest."" - The Flagpole

Parachute Musical are performing second.



Parachute Musical isn't what it used to be. Since it's conception in 2003, the Nashville-based, piano-fronted indie rock quartet is building a better city with perfect song-craft, highly energetic performances, and a hearty work ethic. Since the sold-out show for their sophomore release, Everything is Working Out Fine in Some Town (2008), these charmingly handsome brunettes have been touring the U.S. coast to coast for two years now and have built up quite a loyal following in the process. It's the good looks really, though.

D.C. natives Josh Foster (vocals/piano), Tom Gilbert (guitar/vocals), and Ben Jacoby (drums) deposited themselves into Nashville just a year before releasing Everything is Working Out, and work out it did. The guys settled in place after discovering Tennessee music man Andrew Samples (bass/vocals). Foster's soaring voice and detailed compositions are the perfect home for Gilbert's unique, artistic style on guitar, and Samples' driving bass sparks a fire under Jacoby, setting ablaze a well-matched rhythm section.

New songs are now pouring out of them! Their latest single, No Comfort, was released in January 2010, kicking off another whole year of touring. The single features two new songs recorded with Nashville producer Derek Garten, whom the band worked with on the previous record.

The Levee make their Drunken Unicorn debut on Friday, August 19th

PFH Productions presents:

The Levee at the Drunken Unicorn on Friday, August 19th, 2011



The Levee was birthed out of a need to create. Brandon Funk came to the table with 14 songs with the intention of recording an EP using only local talent out of Atlanta for everything it takes to make an album. After enlisting the help of Kyle Schumacher and Michael Stallings to help record his solo project, the three knew that they had something unique. The EP turned into an LP, and the solo project turned into a band, and after recently solidifying their line up with the addition of Tucker Richmond, The Levee released their CD May 20, 2011.

Behold The Brave are performing second.



Behold The Brave is a Southern/Indie Rock group out of Cleveland, Tennessee. The band formed while attending Lee University in 2008. Pulling influences from classics like The Steve Miller Band, Led Zeppelin, and Tom Petty, Behold The Brave are a breath of fresh southern air to the auto-tune world.

Saint Ugly are the openers for this show.



Saint Ugly is the indie music child of former punk guitarist Michael Turner and a handful of new friends who began to collaborate in the late spring of 2011. Turner put down the guitar, picked up the microphone, and brought a pile of unfinished songs to South Atlanta to be topped off by the talents of Andrew Kessel [gtr], Merlin Fabian [bass], Ryan Vendig [gtr], and finally Kevin Thurston [drums]. The result is a raw but melodic expression of punk/folk music blended with themes of apocalyptic love and sorrow. Saint Ugly’s debut record is expected in early 2012.

Earthtone Lyrix is performing second.



EarthTone LYRIX is the closest you will get to earth while still being in the air with lyrix to meditate on. She would rather consider her music an evolving genre within itself, but most of her fans love the Neo-Soul/Jazz feeling that they receive. EarthTone was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida October 4th, 1989 then later raised in Stone Mountain, Georiga. She started singing at the age of three she started writing and composing her own music at the age of 18 in 2008. Earth is merely musically inclined, she taught herself how to play the Guitar and Piano and is still learning more instruments. Her mind is always on the hunt for new ideas when it comes to writing and learning something new. Earthtone is an alumni of Tucker High School , in Tucker, Ga. She has attended Darton College in Albany, Ga. where she joined the choir and engaged in many musical events. She is a recent transfer student to Albany State University, Albany, Ga. where the students and staff welcomed her musical abilities with open arms. EarthTone started performing her original music on ASUs stage in talent shows earning gigs around the city from the exposure. She decided to take a break from school to feed her hunger for music for the summer in 2010. She then moved home to Atlanta, ga, to see if this could be a promising opportunity. With a fresh start in a new city for her music, she entered into shows around the city receiving the most positive feedback possible. She has the patience to prove that talent isnt about looks or even the clothes u wear. With the patience being the virtue she was featured On the #1 radio station by one of the hottest dj personalities in Atlanta Dj Gregg street on the Frank and Wanda morning show. Creating yet great responses and more exposure and earning more opportunities she is ready to takeoff!
