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<.
