“Tales of The UnXpected.” was penned precisely on 24 March, 2006 12:51 AM, which happened to be a Friday. but you know what? dullneon.com's random notes has now moved to a new location.
When Bloc Party dropped the ‘k’ in ‘Block’ to derive their name, it acquired an aesthetically pleasing quality to it when you saw it and lost nothing when you pronounced it. When the local rock band, The UnXpected, dropped an ‘e’ and stepped up the ‘x’ from what was originally a proper English word, it just looks inarticulate. But their music is a different story.
Their music, my friends, is just excellent. When they get in gear, they completely rock the roof off the joint. Their gig is a tight set of rock music covers and original tracks on Thursdays at Wala-Wala. The very hot & feisty frontwoman, Shirlyn Tan, is a fabulous performer & instantly makes me forget the disappointment of seeing the band name in pseudo-StudlyCaps.
[ Update: And I get mocked quite comprehensively for my spelling deficiency. And thanks to me messing up the drummer’s real indentity, Brennen is rather upset. ]
this was published on 24 March in the year 2006, which was a Friday. anyway, all this is old and archived. everything has been now been moved, so head on down to the revamped almost daily random notes (unless of course you like this old stuff too much to part with it).
