Thanks to LemonWire for this article we were surprised to find on the Internets.

This Friday marks the first of December, as well as yet another Frist Friday full of free concerts in Fountain Square. If you’re in the neighborhood, consider stopping by Square Cat Vinyl for the Unicorn Derby EP release party. Performing with Unicorn Derby will be The 1923, and The “Ocho”.

One interesting sidenote to this show is that every band was formed at Square Cat Vinyl’s Random Band Competition, in which participating strangers’ names were drawn from a bucket to make up each new band. The acts to play on Friday are the top three bands from the competition.

Unicorn Derby

Unicorn Derby is an alternative rock band made up of Caleb Spicer (bass), Grant McClintock (vocals, guitar), Joe O’Brien (guitar), and Kevin Hood (drums). While their name evokes rainbows and butterflies, Unicorn Derby’s sound has a little more edge to it than that. After winning the Random Band Competition, Unicorn Derby won studio time, a cash prize, and a slot at the 2017 Virginia Avenue Folk Festival. After some time in the studio, they narrowed down their list of songs to a four-track EP titled, “Explosion of Awesome”.

To find out more about Unicron Derby, you can find them on Facebook. You can also listen to their EP “Explosion of Awesome” on Bandcamp.
