I happened to find out about them accidentally.
It was early 2008 and I was attending a concert in NYC. I was going to see Nile at B.B. King's Blues Club. The line up was Warbringer, Unexpect, The Faceless, Suicide Silence and ending with Nile.
At the time, I hadn't not heard of the other bands and didn't really care. I was mainly excited because this was the first year Karl Sanders offered his guitar lessons at Nile shows and I was lucky enough to be a part of it. I was so absorbed into the lesson and the show, I didn't even think about what the other bands would sound like.
Warbringer went on first and didn't get much support from the audience. And then unExpecT came on. The only things I thought of while they were setting up was "Holy shit, she has long hair!" and "I hope this is more entertaining than Lacuna Coil". (I would never ever compare the bands now but only from looking at the members set up for their show, and not ever hearing of them, I didn't have high expectations)
And then they started playing....
I was blown away. Absolutely baffled. Their stage presence was flawless and their music was so beautiful.
For many months, I devoured everything this band had offered.
Even now, I consider them one of the biggest innovators of the arts of muse.

At Progressive Nation 2009 in Wembley Arena, London UK.
I was there to see Dream Theater and Opeth. Unexpect were the first opening act and for me, the highlight of the gig. Immediately bought IAFA and loved it, at the time i described them as "like Tom Waits if he decided to record a metal album!!!" I later bought We Invaders and Utopia - very interesting to see how Unexpect have evolved.
Absolutely cant wait for the new album, bring it on fast, been waiting too long......
Hats off to Mike Portnoy of DT for bringing them on tour, I have him to thank for one of my biggest musical discoveries in recent years.
