==History==
The Unicorns were formed in Campbell River, British Columbia in December 2000 by Nicholas Thorburn and Alden Penner, who met in high school in the autumn of 1998. Alden was new to his 10th-grade class and decided to wear a skirt to school, which intrigued a 12th-grade Nick and quickly sparked their friendship.〔() The Indie Spotlight - The Unicorns〕 The duo self-recorded a nine-track CD entitled ''Unicorns Are People Too'' which was released in March 2003 through their own label Caterpillars of the Community. The release was limited to 500 copies, but was later distributed widely through file-sharing networks and fansites.〔(Unicorns Are People Too )〕 Around this time they also self-recorded a 3" CDr entitled Three Inches of Blood which was given to venue owners who arranged the band's early shows. A split 7" with Arcade Fire was also announced, but never materialized.〔(The Unicorns :: News - September 10th, 2002 )〕
In June and July 2003 the band recorded their debut studio LP ''Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?'' with producer Mark Lawson in Montreal. The album featured several reworked versions of songs from ''Unicorns Are People Too'' and featured contributions from Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire) and drummer Jamie Thompson who joined the band as a touring member later that year. The album was released in November 2003 on Alien8 Recordings in North America and Rough Trade in Europe. The album received glowing reviews from ''The Village Voice'', ''NME'', online magazine Pitchfork Media and numerous other publications around the world,.〔(Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?

The band toured continuously across North America, Europe and Australia following the release of ''Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?'', including shows with The Decemberists, Fiery Furnaces, Hot Hot Heat and Arcade Fire.〔(Last.fm - The Unicorns: Events )〕 A promotional video was also produced for the song "Jellybones", which aired occasionally on MTV2's 120 Minutes. In May 2004 an EP entitled The Unicorns: 2014 was released by Seattle label Suicide Squeeze. The band became known for their chaotic live shows, described as "unruly, sometimes transcendent, sometimes akin to tantrums".〔(Exclaim.ca - The Unicorns Can't Just Get Along )〕
