On their 6th year and still going strong. This quartet/quintet rocks the night away with their repertoire of original songs penned by singer Shirlyn Tan and also a selection of classic rock and selected pop covers. What sets them aside from other cover bands is their belief in not blindly following typical crowd- pleasing radio trends, always passionate about their performance. In the year 2003 the band recorded a live album of their show at Wala Wala, to give the crowd something to bring home. Comprising 8 cover songs and two originals, 'UnXpectedly Live at Wala Wala' has sold out 1000 copies. Though they did not bring the CD to the shops, they decided the best way to market the CD would be to sell it at their live shows. The UnXpected perform regularly at Wala Wala Café & Bar, Balaclava Bar and Timbre. Showcases at The Esplanade include the Outdoor Theatre, Late Nite Series @ Recital Studio (UnXpectedly Shirlyn and Newfound Jealousy an Acoustic Gem) and being the opening act for Jason Mraz for the Mosaic Festival 2006. In July 2006, the band backed Shirlyn up in one of Esplanade’s Late Nite Series @ Recital Studio : ‘Newfound Jealousy An Acoustic Gem’, featuring Shirlyn's original compositions. April 2007 saw Shirlyn Tan launching her solo album ‘Newfound Jealousy’ with much help from The UnXpected and other session musicians.Our regular gig slots are (unless otherwise stated): Thursdays and Saturdays @ Wala Wala.
