This month’s Small Studio Session performers are known as Unicorn Derby — a whimsical name that reflects both the music and the unusual way this band got together. They became a band by luck, after their names were literally drawn out of a hat at an event called the Random Band Challenge.

This piece includes samples from the studio session. Afterward, WFYI’s Jill Ditmire interviewed members Joe O'Brien, Caleb Spicer, Grant McClintock and Kevin Hood about their origin and their music.

You can find the entire Small Studio Session from Unicorn Derby on our Small Studio page. And the band is looking forward to their summer shows, including halftime at Naptown Roller Derby in June.

Small Studio is made possible by a grant from The Herbert Simon Family Foundation, and with support from Neat O Art Shop and Sun King Brewery.

Caitlin Clark rallies Fever past Liberty 83-78 with first triple-double by WNBA rookie

Caitlin Clark posted the first triple-double by a rookie in WNBA history to rally Indiana to an 83-78 victory over New York on Saturday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, snapping the Fever's nine-game losing streak to the Liberty. Clark finished with 19 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds for Indiana (9-13). Aliyah Boston finished with 18 points on 8-for-12 shooting and had eight rebounds for the Fever. Sabrina Ionescu scored 22 to lead New York, which had won five straight games. Betnijah Laney-Hamilton added 20 points, Clark, the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, was one rebound shy of a triple-double two games ago in an 88-82 road victory over the Phoenix Mercury.
