The Six Shot Revival are the openers.



It's been said, "It's easier to give birth than to raise the dead..."

In a world driven by the need to mass produce by way of cookie-cutter molds, the team of THE SIX SHOT REVIVAL have found it deep in their creative processes to deny the urge to mimic their surroundings through a successful attempt to prove, as in the days of old, that SOUL triumphs over polished, over-produced, systematically formulated insta-pop every time.

Inspired by bands that earned acclaim by way of their overwhelmingly infectious ability to move audiences young and old for the better part of fifty years, THE SIX SHOT REVIVAL has thoroughly shattered the notion that the best of the "rock-n-roll" genre has come and gone. Through the use of the same tools and tactics that brought songs to the listening public such as "My Generation," which gave a voice to the teenage angst of the sixties, to "War Pigs" and "Ace of Spades," which continue to define metal as we know it today, SSR has forced every person in their wake to reconcile with the reality that not only is rock-n-roll alive and well today, but is poised to once again excite a generation to the revolutions that it once did for generations previously.

Teaming with the visionary engineers at the acclaimed Atlanta recording house, Southern Tracks Studios, Tom Tapley Seven Morrison, THE SIX SHOT REVIVAL's first e.p. is taking a jaded and cynical listening public by storm. Tune into this band's rise and join the one true rock REVIVAL.........

AxCx have rescheduled for Monday, April 4th, 2011

Anal Cunt are headlining the Drunken Unicorn on Monday, April 4th, 2011. This is their rescheduled performance for their cancelled show in June 2010.



"I started anal cunt in march 1988. when the band started, it wasn't meant to be a big deal at all. all i had planned was to do 1 demo tape,and play one show,but when it ended up being more than that.at the time i was playing bass in a band called executioner(that i quit by the end of march),who had 2 records out(i played on the 2nd one) and toured around the u.s.a.,plus i also played guitar and sang in a death metal parody band called satan's warriors.but also, i used to have a hobby of making up joke bands all the time. most of them sounded like anal cunt already,but didn't do more than make a shitty demo in my,or a friends bedroom/basement/or attic. the oldest band i can remember that was similar to a.c. was in 1980 in my attic with my cousin michael. it was called "the losers",then later changed to the name"noise". that "band" was me with a toy guitar(i couldn't afford a real one for years)and vocals and him playing cardboard boxes as fast as possible. eventually i got a real guitar,and made more tapes. the name anal cunt came from when i used to make a list of words that were offensive and then make combinations from them to get the most offensive,stupid,dumb,etc name possible. one day i came up with anal cunt. like i said, i used to make up tons of bands that already sounded like anal cunt,but they were usually with the same people. i wanted to do it with different people this time. i wanted the band to be the least musical thing possible. no lyrics,no music written for the songs, no song titles, NOTHING resembeling music at all.i also wanted the band's one show to have a very lively,aggressive,and violent stage presence. i usually played guitar (and sang on some) in these bands, but in this one i just wanted to do vocals."

Strong Intention is performing second.



Formed in 1993, STRONG INTENTION continues to deliver brutal hardcore fueled by extreme speed, heaviness, and disgust. The band's earliest incarnation found itself heavily Influenced by classic NYHC outfits such as AGNOSTIC FRONT, BREAKDOWN, and the CRO-MAGS, and released the What's At Stake demo in 1993. These early recordings aligned the band with ultra-tough heavy hardcore represented in Maryland by NEXT STEP UP and GUT INSTINCT. But by 1995, issues of focus took their toll on the lineup, leaving then-guitarist Zac as the only original member, and putting the band into a year-long hiatus. In 1996, the band re-formed around a new core lineup, and the new members brought a new, diverse range of ideas and influences to the band. Gradually writing faster and faster material, the band released a debut 7" EP in 1996 on Crucial Blast. This EP was a minor departure from the earlier heavy NYHC hardcore the band had been known for; as the newer material was much faster and moved Zac over to lead vocals. After the EP was released, STRONG INTENTION continued to go through a myriad of lineup changes throughout the 90's; yet managed to tour the US and Canada 5 times.

Through all of this, the band's sound has continued to shift more and more towards the harshest ends of the underground extreme hardcore / metal spectrum, as well as cultivate a thoroughly apocalyptic worldview.

Wolves & Jackals are the opener.



Wolves & Jackals is a destructive, unrelenting force preparing for the apocalypse that will consume us all. Patrons of God's left hand, they incite the legacy of pain and suffering onto mere mortals. Words spoken through them. The gospel of death.

Coming out of Atlanta, GA, Wolves & Jackals fuse together styles from thrash (Slayer, At the Gates), black metal (Behemoth, 1349), death metal (Suffocation, Carcass), and hardcore (Burnt by the Sun, Converge) to construct a driving force of speed and vigorous brutality. LaMar George unleashes pain and torment with his screams and terror through his guitar. Troy Bedingfield lets forth Hell Fire through his solos. Michael Green storms on the drum kit, shattering nerves with every strike. Mikhail Loginov shakes the bowels of hell with his bass. Together, they trigger the bloodthirsty onslaught on humanity that is Wolves and Jackals.

Attractive Eighties Women are having an EP release show on Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

Attractive Eighties Women are hosting their EP release show at the Drunken Unicorn on Saturday, April 2nd.



With their wild costumes and on-stage antics, AEW have often been described as "Post-GWAR Kiss revivalists". One eyewitness at an early show claimed the band was "like a tornado of two-hundred Led Zeppelins, out-of-control and bearing down on a South Georgia trailer park... picking up all the hot women and spinning them away to some distant rock n' roll Valahalla."

Morning Teleportation are performing here on April 1st.

Tight Bros presents:

Morning Teleportation at the Drunken Unicorn on Friday, April 1st, 2011



Morning Teleportation formed in 2005 when Bowling Green, KY natives and lifelong friends Travis Goodwin (keyboards), Tres Coker (drums), and Paul Wilkerson (bass) met up with Chicago transplant Tiger Merritt (vocals/guitar), who had just moved to their hometown for college. From the beginning the band has built up a roller coaster of tumultuous rock 'n roll, featuring analog synths, heartfelt vocals, and sudden changes woven through psychedelia, electronica, and deep-space pickin' n' grinnin'. They've spent most of the past year on the road playing for enthusiastic crowds at Bonnaroo and Sasquatch and supporting the likes of The Flaming Lips, Cage The Elephant, and Modest Mouse.

To witness Morning Teleportation's live show is to experience a cacophony of improvisational mayhem draped with melodic twists and turns. Merritt's vocals dart sharply about the frantic, pulsing backbeat held down by the rhythm section, while his spacey fingerstyle guitar prowess embodies a style best described as "finger-trippin." And while their sound may be somewhat more modern than several of their cited heroes (including James Gang and CSNY), you should make no mistake: these are still some boys who want nothing more than to have a good time in the classic rock idiom.

With the combined energy of a basement party, a back-room jam session, and a futuristic hootenanny, Morning Teleportation's raucous, off-kilter explosion of enthusiasm is guaranteed to raise a smile. The band's first album, entitled Expanding Anyway, is out now on Glacial Pace Recordings.

Nicos Gun is performing second in support of Morning Teleportation.



"Transcending generations and transgressing genres, Nicos Gun flips the music world on its head, harmonizing classic, funk, and psychedelic rock into prodigious melodies that electrify and inspire.

After sitting on this post for weeks, it's finally time to unveil our first "2011 Band to Watch." What we're coining their lead single, put your lighters up for "we are fluorescent."

With Flight of the Conchords type creativity (NG lead vocals Barney even resembles Brit), Nicos Gun's talents are far-reaching, with vocals akin to Prince, MGMT, and Empire of the Sun, to psychedelic undertones reminiscent of Ghostland, while all being rooted in bass and guitar true to pure rock, it's an eclectic collection of phenomenally orchestrated sounds." - Troysnoise

Gobble Gobble returns to the Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, March 30th

Gobble Gobble returns to the Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, March 30th, 2011.



"Its really hard to quantify the craziness that is Canada’s GOBBLE GOBBLE. I’ve posted on them before, but I thought they deserved a post to strictly hype their tunes and confess my addiction to them. Remember the first time you heard The Faint? I do. They were gothic electropop sweetness. Take that feeling and sound and diced it to pieces, sew it back together, then mix it with jet fuel and launch it into the atmosphere. That’s GOBBLE GOBBLE." - Pasta Primavera

Qurious are the openers of the evening.



Qurious is not so much a band as it is a vessel. A vessel transports you into the dark far reaches of space and back, in an attempt to impart in their listeners a new-found, alien third-person perspective on the world and the infinite natural beauty that surrounds. Such a voyage is fueled through the production of ethereal musical landscapes constructed with hypnotizing vocal melodies, dance-inducing synthesizers, and found-samples gathered along the way. Your guides/abductors for this trek are a duo composed of one part singer/songwriter Catherine Quesenberry with a specialty in vocals, korg, and a secret weapon, and one part Mike Netland, engineer of samples, beats, and robo-phonetics. They’re coming to your planet, to your venues, to your homes. Their songs will draw you in like a sound-wave tractor beam. Don’t be scared though. They’re just Qurious.
