Happy Hari Raya from Etc.
It's the end of the Muslim fasting month, and that means it's the Hari Raya holiday in places like Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia (places across which Etc's band-folk are currently scattered) – and that's a good enough excuse for put a verité recording of an Etc concert for your listening (and downloading) pleasure here. The set was definitely recorded in 2010, possibly in April. And on a Friday, in sweltering heat.
Thanks for having us. And Selemat Hari Raya to all!

Etc :: Wedding Singers Go Home
Etc are truly, madly, deeply honoured to have been invited to play WEDDING POP! - a gig that coincides with THE WEDDING OF ONE OF OUR OLDEST PALS AND A HERO OF SINGAPORE MUSIC, PATRICK CHNG, TO THE LOVELY STEPHANIE! Cheers to that!
That's THE Patrick Chng who we've known fronting THE ODDFELLOWS, drumming for PADRES, doing stuff w/ PRIMITIVE PAINTERS and much, much, more in his many years of playing music, helping other musicians, teaching kids, organizing gigs and doing good work for charity - including Music for Good and Migrant Voices projects., while still he finding time to support Liverpool F.C. (and he was a pretty decent footie player last we saw him in action).
So, a pretty class event. But wait! There's more! Not only does Etc getting to play alongside Midnight Marvel and Typewriter (featuring, by the way, PATRICK CHNG! MULTI-TASKER EXTRAORDINAIRE... EVEN ON HIS WEDDING DAY!); but the gig's headliner is: Livonia - long-time no-seen, and now back after a decade of musical adventures elsewhere! Wow.
AND THAT'S NOT ALL FOLKS! All proceeds from WEDDING POP! will be donated to the charity organization, H.O.M.E. Check out their good work here: http://www.home.org.sg/home/index.html
When: Saturday, March 27, 2010
Where: HOME Club, The Riverwalk #B1-01, 20 Upper Circular Road, Singapore
First band: 8pm
Free entry before 9pm
After 9pm: $12 (includes w/ one drink)

Etc regrets that the Management of Home Club is not permitted to admit those under-18 years old.
Big Star tribute content? Confirmed.

Austin Power
The Pinholes is a band that you are certainly more likely to have heard-of than Etc. - and if you have heard of Etc it could be because we got to ride the 'hole's groovy coattails when they covered "Handphones on the Dancefloor". Don't worry, The Pinholes got over it. In fact, Bukit Batok's smiling ambassadors of sound are about to set off in the footsteps of Singapore bands Electrico, Great Spy Experiment and I Am David Sparkle, and make an appearance at the SXSW Festival held in Austin, Texas. That's in the USA.
And for those of us wishing them all the best for Texas, there's Blazin' Saddles (or Blazzin Sadders - depending on who you ask) - a gig to raise to funds for The Pinholes' gas, food, lodging, whatever... Considering what popular gents they are, we'd imagine Pinholes are spoilt for choice with who they could ask to play, so how nice they should call on Etc to part of this fundraiser. There's also The Lost Hat and The Rejeks plus - it says - 'Special Guests'. One can only imagine who these might be - at least, we're interested to find out. Maybe they mean You. No kidding. We think you're special. Say hello if you're there.
The Facebook event page for it is >here<.
BLAZIN' SADDLES :: Pinholes SXSW Fundraiser Fun on Friday

Our Gang Maybe Wee, But We Love It etc.
Wasn't expecting to have an Etc-related post so soon into 2010. The lazy half of Etc (me) was hoping to keep the calendar clear for recording, but -so far- that's not been happening; and just as juggling things that may/may-not happen in other countries was getting bewildering... all of sudden: we get an invitation to play at a party featuring the band AND the DJ that make us smile the most these days. So how could we refuse? Jet-set Harvey Etc might not even be in the country when the show commences, but he's keen (Note to self: ask him about any Phil Collins at Live Aid fantasies he might have)
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2010. 9pm till 2am
Venue: BluJaz, Bali Lane*, Singapore
DJ MiLuvYouLooongTam (aka Roger) presents:
Glorious eclectica spun by his very self
plus live music from:
WeGANG
super-singalong-a-six-piece
and guests who hope they don't spoil the party:
