Digital Unicorn

Electronic duo Digital Unicorn came into existence after an opening band at an Aquabats show was unable to attend. Deibert grabbed whatever was readily available for a costume, a mixtape and a keyboard and went onstage. The project soon evolved into a part-time two-member band, with Deibert (as "Mann: Realiser of Music") performing on keyboards, synthesizers and drum machines while a friend in a horse costume (stage name "Hoerse: Creator of the Dance") provided dancing accompaniment. The band released only one album, 2001's ''Theirs Travel Began and Loaded the Dream'' on
