Unicorn Bar presents: Jelly Kelly / The Drips / Noah Arhm Choi

Jelly Kelly began life as a side project for Monogold frontman Keith Kelly, but quickly grew into its own beast. As a multimedia artist as well, the sound of Jelly Kelly uses a broad spectrum of different styles and genres making a combination of something foreign and familiar. Sort of like a best friend you've never met. The name comes from Keith’s childhood where local bullies at the bus stop would chant “Jelly Kelly” and other variations throughout the years. So this name is dedicated to those bullies, wherever they are!! With the presence of drummer Jared Apuzzo ,double bass,roto toms and all – Nicolas Dube on guitar, Marina Ross on bass and Brendan Sullivan on keys. The Jelly Kelly sound is rounded out creating an effect which is an effortless, cool, catchy blend of post-punky hook-ridden indie rock that doesn’t want to fit neatly in any genre Granite Garden is a band of spirited storytellers helmed by Cameron Silliman and Seamus Good. On stage they walk the fine line between intensity and intimacy, all in the service of bringing their audience on a grand adventure. Their diverse influences from film, rock n roll, theatre, and art help them weave a patchwork of old and new ideas that is magnificent at a distance and joyously cutthroat up close and in person. THE DRIPS are a BK based indie band that fuses together a gnarly potion of folk, pop, & punk-rock. The coven is made up of Déa, Thani, Aspen, and Caro, who met on a moonlit night in a dunkin-donuts parking lot. Their hex-proofcauldron is specially brewed to connect queer comrades far and wide. Transvolution, our first record, dropped in March 2026, produced in gorgeous collaboration with Matt Graff, Irving Gadoury and barb morrison.
