Kaleigh Baker here at The Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012.
"The Weight of It All is the roar of a soulful lioness and will go a long way toward proving to the world what Orlando’s known for a long time: Kaleigh Baker is a legend in the making.” – Justin Strout / Orlando Weekly
Midnight Revival will be performing before Kaleigh Baker.
"Midnight revival is sorta like some scrappy old pawn shop. They just take all that old shit nobody pays much attention to anymore, jumble it all together, and put it back on the rack. After a brief dusting of course. and sure the price tag is cheap. Who knows, maybe you'll find something in there, if you got a minute." - Andy
I know what you are saying, "What is so original about another bluesy rock band?", well this is whats so original about it, they take the heart of blues, the power of rock, the "sweet" of indie, and the rebellion of alternative and cram it all into their originals like "Buster the Bullfrog" and "Place we can Go".
Colossus will be the second performer of the evening.
The six Mini-Colossoi are slaves to the power of the lord Poseidon, and must do his bidding. He commands us to rock unsuspecting youth in your bars and houses, drinking your beer and crushing your skulls with thundering beats, baroque polyphony, galloping basses, and soaring vocals--all of which testify to the awesome power of mighty Poseidon.
ODESSA, featuring members of DOOMSAYER is a new band that is continually exploring the boundaries of Metal and Rock. Their sound is both powerful and intricate with heavy grooves and masterful riffing.
Picking up where DOOMSAYER left off, ODESSA is currently writing new material and reshaping their songs to refine and also broaden their particular brand of metal.
Scale The Summit here at The Drunken Unicorn on Friday, February 17th, 2012.
Scale the Summit’s influences aren’t the obvious named you’d expect – The band reveres the technicality of Dream Theater and Cynic – but at the same time, Letchford feels the band has taken strides toward developing it’s own identity. “Our music is very organic-sounding. Since we started riding music, we’ve had people talking about how our music takes them on a journey, so we decided to call it “Adventure Metal” It felt better than just calling it “Progressive Metal.”
Elitist are the act performing before Scale The Summit.
“After a seemingly endless pile of crappy hardcore and deathcore bands, I was completely overjoyed when I finally found these guys. They play technical-melodic metal and they sound like what I imagine you might get if Veil Of Maya and Misery Signals had a baby. That’s a very good thing.” - Heavy Blog Is Heavy
Capillaries is an instrumental band of four from Atlanta, GA. The music of Capillaries captures a dark history and remains willing to stay behind and investigate it. There are hints of ambience with a sense of immediacy driving it along. Noise and melody become unintended bedfellows. Bass-driven leads and non-traditional rhythms become the substratum for soaring guitars that take listeners to new heights just before pummeling them back into the earth.
Tragedy Called Truth here at the Drunken Unicorn on Thursday, February 16th, 2012.
Tragedy Called Truth. Who Are They? Are they a group that you forget at the end of the night? Or a group whose name will last throughout the ages? Well, If you ask the band, their only reply would be: “There are No minute men here.” Tragedy Called Truth, or T.C.T. has been kicking butt and taking names for a while now and does not intend to stop there. “We are here to change the scene”. They have declared.
Ami will be performing before Tragedy Called Truth.
"She is the epitome of creativity, talent, and beauty. Her name is Ami pronounced AH-mee) and
her musical style is "PopArt." The vocal gift that flows effortlessly from her soul
is truly unbelievable."
Will is starting the show.
Will is a Cleveland born, Atlanta bred MC with a vision.
Thomas Wynn & The Believers who are headlining the Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, February 15th, 2012.
They are a combination of blistering rock and southern soul. This tight six-piece, fiery ensemble has been playing the Orlando original music circuit for the last three years and have quickly garnered local celebrity press status and fan buzz. Thomas’ spirit-moving vocals are uniquely supported by sister Olivia Wynn’s engaging and captivating voice and presence. Olivia and Thomas stand side by side on stage. Her strong vocal harmonies and response makes the perfect companion to his yearning banshee cries.
Parker Smith & The Bandwidth will be performing before Thomas Wynn & The Believers.
Parker Smith and the Bandwith landed their first gig in September 2010 and fans immediately took a liking to their unique sound. Musical influences range from Taj Mahal to Talking Heads, but the band members attempt to steer clear of staying put in one genre. They stress their passion about playing ‘real music’ (no computers allowed on stage), and fans appreciate the originality and roots-oriented sound. As one fan put it, “The groovy songs get your feet thumping and the slower songs reel you in giving you a chance to feel something, more than what can be said of many local acts these days.” Storytelling lyrics and wise tales accompany timeless melodies and unique arrangements with their 6-piece instrumentation.
Sailing to Denver is a band, comprised of veteran musicians from the deep South who simply want to sing their favorite songs together. To help distract us all from the bad news on T.V., they appear regularly around the Atlanta area harmonizing timeless choruses, and playing rhythmic strings that echo through the concrete maze, brightening, and bringing joy unto the road-raged. From songs easily recognized, and universally adored, to the obscure classics that everyone feels they somehow already know, this eclectic group's catalog contains about every known genre, but always with a hint of country and the south. HELP KEEP THEM HERE! By enjoying their music together, maybe we can all do our part to stop them from Sailing To Denver.
