Holy jesus. If you went to high school in the 2000s, you’ll know exactly how much The Unicorns mean to me. In a Kreative Kontrol podcast that Pitchfork thankfully transcribed for us lazy people, Alden Penner said,
“the important thing right now is that we might play some shows and maybe even record some new material while we’re at it. These are all maybes, which have been thrown out there a lot. I guess good practice is that you do what you say.”
“We might arrange a handful of shows,” Penner said. “We’re definitely talking about playing together and seeing what happens. And we’ll probably do some shows in the major cities we’ve played in-probably Toronto, Montreal, New York, L.A., Vancouver–that sort of thing. Whatever’s feasible and it being conditional on it being fun for us to do.”
So what if they don’t play Boston; it’ll be worth the trip to Montreal or NYC. Although the reunion details are fuzzy now, we’ll keep you in the loop here at Allston Pudding. Watch the video of one of their classic jams, “I Was Born a Unicorn” below.
