Unicorn Kid
Dream Catcher

WE SAY

Unicorn Kid has been receiving widespread support and praise since BBC Scotland and Radio 1 started paying attention to him in 2008. He was the youngest artist ever to perform a live session for Radio 1, yet another act to benefit from BBC Introducing and Electric Proms. Since then he has remixed the Pet Shop Boys (and supported them on tour), sold out London shows and toured extensively throughout the UK and US (where he supported Owl City and played SXSW recently). 8-bit music with a fresh dubstep twist, it's little wonder Dream Catcher is exciting the likes of Rob Da Bank and Zane Lowe at BBC Radio 1 - Unicorn Kid has landed his debut for Ministry with a distinct, highly melodic and very likeable tune. A headline tour is coming in June with The Great Escape, T In The Park, Bestival and Underage among the festivals lined up.
