One full circle…
Unicorn : 1996 – 2001
Nrocinu : 2002 – 2009
Unicorn : 2010
UNICORN in 2010 has returned to its roots!
Starting as Unicorn in 1996, the band evolved to be known as Nrocinu in 2002 which during this watershed period, saw their entry into the mainstream music industry. Nrocinu was crowned the winner of Rock Unite 2006 (the rock band reality television show), and went on to release their debut album called ‘Keamanan’ in 2008 which was launched at the TM Merdeka Countdown 08 to an audience of 10,000 people.
In 2009, Nrocinu was judged as a finalist in the Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM) 16 for their album ‘Keamanan’ which garnered a nomination in the Best Rock Album category.
In 2010, starting the year afresh, Nrocinu now returns to its root as UNICORN, fronted and headed by Roll, who has been the pivotal person in the band from the onset.
ROLL remains as the driving force for UNICORN – as vocalist, guitarist, composer, lyricist and arranger, and will be joined on stage by fellow great musicians ZUL (guitarist/shredder), YUNUS (bassist) and ADDY BUANG (drummer). They continue to live up to their reputation as an interesting live stage band not to be missed.
