Etc :: Easter Treaty Songlist

These are the songs that Etc remembers playing on 9 April 09.
The order might not be exact.
The show was dedicated to Kurt Cobain on the anniversary of his body being found.
There was no functioning guitar amp. Etc used a bass amp. And got shocks off the microphone. But got there eventually.

Etc :: Dancing to The Smiths

Etc's "Dancing to The Smiths" - played acoustically on 31 Dec 2008 (starting nearly a minute into the clip). Etc likes that the person who left the 'Truly Awful' assessment in the clip's youtube comments is a fan of CRANBERRIES and VERVE and BRAVEHEART. This means they know a thing about 'truly awful' then.

X's Cassettes :: Etc's set

PoW, Thur, 29 Jan 2009: Since 'X' was present, Etc ventured beyond their originals to include covers of songs first heard on or around X's formative mixes. These are the songs Etc played:

• Peter Panic
• Lairy Canary -> Astrogal
• Watch
• X's Cassettes
• Within You'll Ramone (cover of Tokyo Square: 'Within You'll Remain')
• Schizophrenia (Sonic Youth cover)
• Riding in Your Car (based on Oddfellows' 'Riding In Your Car')
• The Fire of Love (Jody Reynolds cover via The Gun Club)
• I'm With Stupid
• Love Is No Alibi
• Will Until
• You Got To Move (a cappella)
• Unsurprised Etc

Etc's next: 'X's Cassettes

"...critically-acclaimed indie-rock duo of Etc celebrate the legacy of a friend 'X', whose mix tapes were shared amongst Singapore's fledgling alternative music community over two decades ago, possibly influencing the course of local music as we know it. Etc have yet to reveal the identity of their special guest, X, but the band may even venture beyond their own bittersweet originals to include covers of songs first heard on X's mixes, so don't be surprised to hear them take on the likes of Sonic Youth and The Gun Club, or even local heroes like Oddfellows and Zircon Lounge..."

Etc :: Ex's Cassettes acoustic

First take of the first song Etc played on the last date at Blacksteps' HQ (4004 Bukit Merah, Singapore). 30 Dec 2008.

Many things that are advertised as 'unplugged' these days: seldom are. But you can be sure that this is. The lighting is candles. The guitar is acoustic. The camera is wind-up. And Etc's brain is off.
