  • Alden Penner is a Canadian musician who founded influential indie pop band The Unicorns with Nicholas Thorburn in 2000. Shortly after forming, the band quietly created a demo, entitled Three Inches of Blood, which they gave to owners of the venues they played at. They then officially released their first album Unicorns Are People Too on their own label, Caterpillars of the Community. The Unicorns experienced success in 2003 with the release of their only major album, Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?. The album garnered critical acclaim and earned the band a cult following in the indie rock scene. Penner released a 7" vinyl single on the Melbourne-based Art School Dropout label. The A-side, The Ghost of Creaky Crater, was recorded in Melbourne in December, 2004 while The Unicorns were touring Australia. The release was limited to 100 copies. In addition to The Unicorns, Penner had also been creating music since 2002 under the name of All Makes Parts & Collision, although no official releases have stemmed from the project. After The Unicorns disbanded, he played with a number of Montreal-based bands in addition to performing live as a solo act. In his time between projects, Penner created the score for the independent film The Hamster Cage and ran Canadian based record label Take This Hammer, which he has since put to rest. Penner debuted his new band Clues at the Pop Montreal festival in October 2007. Clues' self-titled debut album is scheduled for release on May 19, 2009 on Constellation Records, with a North American tour to follow.
