Unicycle Love You & The Holidays

Looking to wrap up a year that saw the release of their sophomore album, Mirror, Mirror, Unicycle Loves You have announced plans for a holiday show at Chicago’s Beat Kitchen. The cult-film inspired surf-rock group, who hail from Chicago originally, will invade Beat Kitchen on on Thursday, December 30 with help from openers Elephant Gun and Laarks.

Doors open at 9pm, and you’ll want to arrive promptly. Because, the first 100 attendees will received a copy Unicycle Loves You’s new album, as well as a 20 page “not-so-much for kids” coloring book created by guitarist Jim Carroll and bassist Nicole Vitale. Unicycle Love You was also kind enough to offer us their new single “There’s a Giant Walking in My Heart” for free download. Grab it down below!
