Just got back from Walas tonight, and for the first time i watched the band ‘UnXpected’ perform. Even though Aaron said that they were “Off” Today, i think they rocked their first 2 sets! The Lead vocalist was the rock chick of my dreams… Her Stage Presence is absolutely incredible!
170806 – Wala Wala’s Songs included :
Deep Purple – Smoke On the Water,
Skid Row – I remember you,
Radiohead – High and Dry (Lead vocalist is a Radiohead fan),
Coldplay – Yellow,
GEYLANG (Cover of Downtown by petula Clark),
a Freaking Hilarious Remake of Gloria Gaynors I will Survive talking about a 4 inch cock masquerading as a 9 inch one… I kid you not,
Counting Crows – Big Yellow Taxi,
Guns And Roses – Sweet Child of Mine
Nirvana – Come as you are
Slipknot – Heretic Anthem (I’m just kidding ;p)
If this doesnt show you HER Vocal range, nothing will…
The reason i didnt mention the 3rd set is that it was a winding down session more like… but i fell in love with her voice there and then… its like a Norah Jones cross with Sade Smokey Voice for the Jazz numbers and she can Rock out like Axl Rose and Radiohead when push comes to shove. From Ballad to Rock Tune… she displayed AMAZING showmanship…
The UnXpected is:
Vocals & Rhythm: Shirlyn Tan
Bass: Asri (Six String Baby)
Lead Guitar: Rene
Drums: Brandon Khoo (Although it was a Stand in tonight)
Keyboards & Violin: Joan Chew & Colin Teo * Not present
I love local music, and UnXpected is no exception. And Shirlyn Tan if you ever read this, you rock my socks, birkies, berms, polos, boxers, hats, specs and everything i could ever put on my body, off. You made my last night in Singapore a night to remember.
Show the band some love, and if you live in Singapore, Go see them Thursday Nights and Sat Nights at Wala Walas Holland V, and for heavens sake buy their CD!
