Rubblebucket is performing here at the Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, November 12th, 2011.

“A must-hear artist” - Spin

“They sound like hippies who have taken over a city, hog-tied any uptight citizens, and painted all the yucky grey/brown buildings in acrylic colors and neon war paint.” LA Music Blog

Baby Baby will be performing second.



Quit hatin. These dudes are fun. Raucous party tunes. Sometimes feete shufflink , sometimes a touch of metaltastic. These guys like hard work and ball sweat. If you haven't started moving yet, then you are really really running out of excuses at this point. Save your excuses for when you need them, like the next day when you were supposed to meet this cute girl for coffee at eleven AM, which you make but then have to explain your godawful smell because you met her at bible study and want her to think you are something that you are not.
They have an album. That they recorded. Do that.

The Levee will be performing first.



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 debut full length on May 20, 2011.

Youth Lagoon are coming to the Drunken Unicorn on Friday, November 11th

Ok Productions and Tight Bros presents:

Youth Lagoon here at the Drunken Unicorn on Friday, November 11th



"Youth Lagoon is the outlet of Boise, Idaho’s Trevor Powers' most personal hopes and fears, which he sets to dreamy yet tenacious lo-fi pop. While studying at Boise State University, Powers would go to the school’s music building and write songs between classes, and he recorded what would become his debut album over winter break in 2010 in his bedroom, a kitchen, and a four-car garage -- all settings that captured the intimate yet spacious atmosphere of his music. Powers posted his first Youth Lagoon song online in May 2011, sparking buzz that resulted in a two-album deal with Fat Possum Records. His first album, The Year of Hibernation, which reflects the wake of a breakup as well as Powers’ struggles with chronic anxiety, arrived that September." - Heather Phares / All Music

Young Magic will be the second performer.



Young Magic is the newest addition to the Carpark family. Hailing from the east coast of Australia and currently residing in New York, Young Magic is Isaac, a portable studio, and friends. These songs were recorded over the last six months in various places around the world: old spy bases near Berlin, empty rooms in Iceland, kids’ playgrounds in Melbourne, and no water flats in New York. These various locales are sampled and integrated into the fabric of Young Magic’s sound: the fluidity and songwriting of late 60’s psychedelic soul combined with modern-day beat making.

Qurious will be starting the show.



“You have to know the rules before you can effectively break them, and Qurious seems to operate on a higher level of consciousness than its electro peers. Between Mike Netland's starry-eyed production and Catherine Quesenberry's spellbinding voice, the duo delves deep into the realm of pure atmospherics with a sense of sophistication that eludes the rest.” – Creative Loafing Atlanta

Premonition 13 (featuring WINO!) will be headlining here on Thursday, November 10th

PFH Productions presents:

Premonition 13 on Thursday, November 10th, 2011 here at The Drunken Unicorn



By now, the musical exploits of Scott “Wino” Weinrich are the stuff of legend. The Obsessed. Saint Vitus. Spirit Caravan. The Hidden Hand. Shrinebuilder. After releasing his solo debut in 2009, Wino went acoustic in early 2011 with Adrift, a gut-wrenchingly personal album written by a man who has survived a lifetime of gut-wrenching scenarios and lived to tell the tales.

Wino’s latest project sees him plugged back in—both to his amplifier and the full-band format. Enter PREMONITION 13, a musical entity that finds its genesis in jam sessions dating back two decades, when Wino first met fellow guitarist Jim “Sparky” Karow. “Jim and I have known each other for about 20 years,” Wino explains. “His wife was basically the first manager of the Obsessed. We played guitars together one day and then we had this really good conversation about magnetism. We realized we had a common love of Mesoamerican stuff and ancient cultures. So we’ve been jamming together for about 15 or 20 years—just me and him, two guitars, no drums or anything like that.”

And so what started as a series of informal jams out at Karow’s spread in the high California desert—a place once inhabited by Brave New World author and LSD enthusiast Aldous Huxley—eventually became songwriting sessions. After enlisting the talents of Ostinato drummer Matthew Clark and former Meatjack bassist Brian Daniloski, they began playing live under the moniker Premonition. But a subsequent Internet search turned up quite a few bands with that very name, so Wino proposed a numerical addendum. “13 is one of my favorite numbers,” he explains. “It’s actually a very positive number, but it’s been misconstrued quite a bit throughout history. Friday the 13th is considered bad luck in America, but that’s just another fear trip. It’s also considered good luck by some esoterically-minded folks because Friday the 13th was the day that Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, was burned at the stake. As he was being burned, he cursed the pope and the king, and they were both dead within a year.”

The Gates Of Slumber will be the second performer of the evening.



Bruising bashers THE GATES OF SLUMBER deftly defy death on their latest volcanic eruption, Hymns of Blood & Thunder. Remember that time when Conan strapped your head to the Anvil of Crom, and then those three bearded, burley bastards bludgeoned it to a bloody pulp using a giant hammer forged of Wrought-Iommi? Well, it’s that time again as Indianapolis heaviest sons return with their latest full length epic!

THE GATES OF SLUMBER encapsulates the metal experience for true believers. The Indianapolis doom metal trio formed in the late 1990’s with the goal of creating a band whose sound delivered an updated take on the member’s long list of favorite heavy metal greats. Weaned on Black Sabbath, St. Vitus, the melodic might of Iron Maiden and a host of classic bands from Thin Lizzy to Rainbow to Mercyful Fate, THE GATES OF SLUMBER draw deep from heavy metal's most powerful blood and deliver doom in its purest form.

An Isle Ate Her will be the second band performing on this bill and they will be celebrating the release of their new album "Phrenia" as well.



An Isle Ate Her was technically formed in July 2007 under a different name. For two and a half years Chaz, Collin, Matt and various other members over time played countless shows and embarked on a couple small scale tours, and at the same time were constantly building their skills. At the beginning of 2010, they wrote two songs which they knew were far beyond the ability of their former moniker's current music. That's when An Isle Ate Her actually started. AIAH took these songs and a few others and recorded Desiderium, the band's debut EP, and released it digitally in July of 2010. Since then, they met Eric, the band's first, full-time bassist, played dozens of shows with local and national touring acts alike, and wrote several new songs. These new songs were recorded over the summer with longtime friend Paul Hundeby of City of Ifa/City Pro Recording, and are set to release their debut full-length, Phrenia, on 11/07/11.

Hello Cobra are starting the show.



We used to be The Humboldt Trio. We're Hello Cobra cuz there's now four of us. Hello Cobra has been lucky enough to play along such acts as Animals As Leaders, Intronaut, Fuck the Facts, Zevious, and Unwed Sailor.

This is what a dude had to say about us:

"What’s that I hear? Asymmetrical time signatures, schizophrenic changes, angular melodies, jazzy interludes, some start-stop dynamics? It must be math rock: the genre that nobody wants to embrace and that few bands play well. Fortunately, Atlanta’s The Humboldt Trio excel at it, churning out serpentine songs that wind, slither and slide across a wide spectrum of sounds from jazz to prog to rock to metal. Unlike many of the band’s that attempt to congeal such a hodgepodge of musical styles, THT rarely come off as belabored; despite the myriad twists and turns, the music glides along naturally, seamless transitioning from one breakneck change to the next."
