The Unicorns
The Unicorns are a rock band from Montreal, Canada formed in 2000 by Nicholas Thorburn (Nick Diamonds) and Alden Penner (Alden Ginger), who were later joined by Jamie Thompson (J'aime Tambeur) in December 2003. The band announced their split in late 2004, before reuniting for a short run of shows in 2014.
History
The Unicorns were formed in Campbell River, British Columbia in December 2000 by Nicholas Thorburn and Alden Penner, who met in high school in the autumn of 1998. Alden was new to his 10th-grade class and decided to wear a skirt to school, which intrigued a 12th-grade Nick and quickly sparked their friendship. The duo self-recorded a nine-track CD entitled Unicorns Are People Too which was released in March 2003 through their own label Caterpillars of the Community. The release was limited to 500 copies, but was later distributed widely through file-sharing networks and fansites. Around this time they also self-recorded a 3" CDr entitled Three Inches of Blood which was given to venue owners who arranged the band's early shows. A split 7" with Arcade Fire was also announced, but never materialized.
The Unicorns: 2014
The Unicorns: 2014 is an EP by The Unicorns released in 2004 by Suicide Squeeze Records. It was the band's final release prior to their split in late 2004. The 7" version was pressed on purple vinyl and limited to 2,000 copies.

Inoculate The Innocuous
by: The UnicornsSmall doses, daily
Absorbed and collected in the glands of fatty tissues over time
Somewhere in the asshole of my eye
There's a muscle which relaxes when you cry
Somewhere in the eye of my brain
There's a muscle which makes me go...
Storage cells for hidden substance
But new flavours and aromas go on
Reflect on your absence
Genuflect in my presence
Remove your absess, they said it's cancer
(flavourful, beautiful)
Bananas help me unwind
Watermelon makes it awesome
