unicycle loves you @ bruar falls - 10.22.09

when i got to bruar falls the morning of the showcase, unicycle loves you was there setting up as they were going on at noon and the first band to play that day. it was just them and me in the bar and it was fascinating to get a behind-the-scenes view as they set up and warmed up. nyctaper describes this chicago band's sound as "psychadelic garage rock" and that's a pretty fair assessment though i would be remiss not to mention that their songs have incredible hooks, great lyrics, and awesome harmonies. they were not only talented, but extremely nice. i talked to the band after the show and can't say enough about how friendly they are. hopefully this great band who has been featured in spin and filter magazines will get signed soon. 

setlist:

1 - magnetic horses
2 - highway robbery
3 - golden girls
4 - gateway drugs
5 - justine
