Montreal's diverse act UNEXPECT have been forced to cancel their upcoming New York City show.
The band - who just released their debut album on THE END RECORDS titled 'In A Flesh Aquarium' - was scheduled to play the Lit Lounge on Monday October 16th, 2006.
The band posted the following update about the cancellation in a newsletter to media and fans:
"DAMNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn !
Another NY show cancelled !!! First, the one with Dissection, and now this !
It seems we're cursed....The show on October 16 at the Lit Lounge is officially cancelled and here is the reason...
Three of us were supposed to come in NY earlier this Saturday to enjoy the city and visit the The End Records office, but The US customs won't let us pass through !! What the *&$?#&?*@...........we did not even have instruments with us or anything...nobody in the band has ever had problem with justice and our files are white as snow. Blank as the blankest blank rumma-thingie. We don't have anything to hide...but still...it seems that they enjoy annoying bands...ok....perhaps that the fact we were wearing blood corpse paint in clown disguises and petting a dead parrot while conversing with them influenced slightly their decision...but it's not a reason to refuse entry to such a bunch of jolly fellows ;)))
We're extremely sorry for everyone who were supposed to be there and we promise we'll be back as soon as we can...you can't imagine how much we were looking forward that show....anyway....now we'll try to clarify some details with the American embassy to see what really happened on that fateful encounter and to nullify the blotches they created on our personal cases.
Well.....a musician's life can be rough sometimes...and a custom agent's life must be quite boring and un-exciting for them to hit on artists whose sole reason to live is to spread their music to the four winds. Shame on them puppet enforcers...if only robots had feelings..
New York....we'll be back!"
The show at the Lit Lounge will go on tomorrow night despite the unfortunate cancellation:

UNEXPECT - In A Flesh Aquarium
What the critics are saying:
”Unexpect have delivered the most demented and unclassifiable yet brilliantly unique and challenging album since La Masquerade Infernale.” – DIGITAL METAL
"In a Flesh Aquarium is the most, er, unexpected release so far this year...the most original body of work I’ve heard in 2006." - AMP MAGAZINE
"One of the most unique summer releases, IN A FLESH AQUARIUM is guaranteed to alter your mind." - BLACK ANGEL PROMOTIONS
"Unexpect have given birth to the strangest album in 2006, if not the entire decade. In a Flesh Aquarium edges the border between chaotic and calculated." - METALOCITY
"In a Flesh Aquarium is avant-garde metal at its finest and most bizarre. The bar for avant-garde & progressive metal just got raised folks." - SEA OF TRANQUILITY
