Pillage And Plunder are performing here on Wednesday, September 19th


Pillage And Plunder will be performing here at The Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, September 19th, 2012.



"Pillage and Plunder is a strange beast. The six songs on their debut EP find an unusual intersection between bright, clean indie-pop and math-rock complexity, resulting in a sound that’s a little jarring on first listen. Give the songs a little time, though, and it all starts to come together...There’s something unique here, and I look forward to hearing from them in the future." - Little Advances

The Romans will be starting the show.



The Romans are a three piece indie rock band from Atlanta, GA. Their sound combines elements of dark new wave, 80′s pop, shoegaze and alternative music. Large lush atmospheric soundscapes engulf plaintive vocals while serving as a backdrop for philosophical lyrics dealing with loss, self realization, melancholy, brokenness and joy. Their ability to move effortlessly from dark to light and loud to soft within a set or on an album is what sets them apart from other bands within their genre.

MyNameIsJohnMichael here at The Drunken Unicorn on Friday, September 14th, 2012.

Austin Archer will be performing before MyNameIsJohnMichael.



It all begins with a melody, simple on its first chance hearing, but like an idea it must be built upon — with Austin Archer those early movements that conceive a song soon take on an operatic sensibility as a human sense of dramatics are hushed in. Nothing is smoldered down or weakened, guitars marry to create a journey, a testament of human endurance of the complex notion to be comfortable and understand where one’s feet are standing. Haunting as much as hopeful, life as much as death, Austin Archer sets out to capture the life he sees and feels exists.

James Wallace & The Naked Light will be performing first.



It was once said that James Wallace would be the kind of guy you'd want on your side if you ever got into a music fight in prison. He'd probably tell you that too, just to clarify his position on not getting into a real fight in prison. That said, his penchant for dark and clever wordplay above eerily-cheery melodies, begs there may be a few twisted stories from his past that we've yet to hear.

Hunter Valentine are performing here on Thursday, September 13th, 2012


is presenting:

Hunter Valentine here at The Drunken Unicorn on Thursday, September 13th, 2012.



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.

The Sexual Side Effects are performing before Hunter Valentine.



Drawing comparisons to Joan Jett and Chrissie Hynde, front girl Amber Taylor knows how to work a crowd, with an aura that reverberates on and off stage. Her electric charisma and haunting voice command attention while her epileptic guitar work leaves audiences gasping for breath. Guitarist Ryan McDougall adds complex textures and edgy solos while bassist Mike Sidner and drummer Clay McClure lay down solid, yet understated, grooves.

Vyie will be starting the show.



Once upon a time [March of 2012], friends and protagonists of a like-minded cause, Janey Criss and Jessi Monroe, stole three days from their lives of post-wizardry and fashioning, of sorts, in order to conduct a musical writing experiment. The result was an assuming product for the formulaic concoction at hand: boisterous synths, curious minors, acoustic elements, playful rhythms and thick, resolute vocals. Shortly following the experiment, Alec Yeager was invited to add thoughtful battery to the equation. Logistics were discussed. And VYIE became.
