The Unicorns are alive and well, and currently on tour. They played a show in Montreal on January 10th, 2004, and they completely blew everyone's mind! As of the summer of 2003 The Unicorns are a band of 3. They have been officially joined by an amazing drummer: Jaime 'Tambeur' Thompson.

The music and lyrics page has been overhauled. The lyrics are accessible one at a time, or per album. Ogg is a patent and license-free file format that will be used from now on in place of mp3 because the mp3 file format is proprietary (owned by Fraunhofer). Ogg is widely supported and growing in popularity. Winamp 2 and 3 support Ogg. For more info about ogg, please go to ogg.org, and check out the FAQ at Vorbis.

Eight new audio tracks have been added to the music collection!

Someone is putting out a 7 inch vinyl record of The Unicorns! It's a split with The Unicorns on one side, and a band called The Arcade Fire on the other. Also, more news, The Unicorns are looking to put out a 12 inch vinyl record/CD of their old stuff. They've recorded a bunch of new songs this summer, and are still recording them, long distance by e-mail. They are hoping to send their music out to labels in the near future.

The Unicorns broke up. They had 4 shows lined up in the next month, one with Nick's second favourite band, The Microphones. Alden is in a depression-funk and doesn't want to practice or play any of the shows.

As planned, Nick is leaving for British Columbia today. He will return to Montreal in late August.

Alden and Nick are on opposite sides of Canada. As you can see, a dilemma exists. Brief, intermittent minglings over the past one year and a half, has permitted the Unicorns to get this far, but much much more is in the works, including: a focus on the live show with: puppets, eyewear, back-up choir, string and brass section, and et cetera. The duo plan to regroup in July 2002 for writing, recording, and extravagant live "happenings".
