Blackbird Blackbird - Friday, June 27th, 2014


is presenting:

Blackbird Blackbird here at The Drunken Unicorn on Friday, June 27th, 2014.



Blackbird Blackbird is the moniker of San Francisco-based wünderkind Mikey Maramag. His unique style of dreamy folktronica recalls influences from all ends of the musical spectrum; deeply textured, hypnotic songs pay homage to psychedelic pop the likes of Caribou and Washed Out, while the warmth of analogue instrumentation spliced with digital artifacts hints at contemporaries James Blake, Four Tet and Mount Kimbie.

Surrogates - Wednesday, June 25th, 2014


Surrogates are performing here at The Drunken Unicorn on Wednesday, June 25th, 2014.



We make music to make people feel how we feel when we listen to our favorite music. It's a very visceral thing, the connection we have to it. It moves our bodies and gives us a reason to keep getting up in the morning.

Jail Weddings are performing before Surrogates.



Jail Weddings' epic second full length is quite aptly titled. Meltdown: the flailing emotional implosion often borne of a triumvirate of frayed nerves, volatile substances and excessive external pressure is clearly evidenced in the words and music herein. But, there's also a newfound sense of musical genres and histories mixing together like molten wax where the band's signature Shangri-La's, Bad Seeds, noir-hued pop merges with hazy psychedelia, bombastic rock and even essences of bizarre Eastern European folk. It's the sound of a band that's always been at the brink of self-destruction actually growing and thriving on its own chaotic impulses.

The Merry Go Rounds are starting the show.



when I was young, they told me to wait
said child, you're so wild, learn to hesitate
so for a while I felt guilt for my sins
its taken all my life just to forgive it again

when I was young, livin' outside the city
they said girl, all you must do in this world is stay pretty
now that I'm older, I know its a lie
its taken all my life, its taken all my life
to take it all back

all I want is someone to love me
heaven above or hell below me

Cody Marlowe And The Dead Flowers - Friday, June 20th, 2014

Cody Marlowe And The Dead Flowers are performing here at The Drunken Unicorn on Friday, June 20th, 2014.



Georgia born singer-songwriter and roots-rock artist Cody Marlowe found his inspiration at an early age in the soulful sounds of B.B. King, Merle Haggard, and the Allman Brothers. Marlowe’s songs explore the polarities of good and evil in an intriguing blend of lyrics featuring lost loves and hopeful musings.
