Etc :: Trans*end

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. 

The songs played: 

Malaysian Trucks 

Astrogal 

Dumb Waiter 

Bungalow 

Love Is No Alibi

 Pretty Fall 

Big Girl's Blouse 

Adolesce 

Handphones on 

the Dancefloor 

Peter Panic

Thanks for having us. And Selemat Hari Raya to all!

Etc's Jakarta-based drummer makes the most of his Singapore weekend R&R* jaunt** – two Etc gigs in one evening.
The Etc trio haven't been same-place/same-time for quite a while, so they could be rusty. Hopefully still trusty...
