Etc invites you to a Guilty Party

Been adding Etc recordings to this Etc page here.

Today: 'Guilty Party' - done semi-acoustic sometime last year. 

You might also be able to see it on the very page you're looking at now. 

Be well. 

Etc :: Undrummed

Etc's latest recording adventures didn't get too far last weekend. Drummer Harvey was briefly in town and all was set for a marathon session of drum track recording. But just before tape was set to roll, the call came in: the studio's microphones had mysteriously disappeared overnight. As a souvenir, we've added some drumless recordings of some of Etc's most-requested songs to the Etc Reverbnation for your listening and free-downloading pleasure. They're labeled as "semi-acoustic" versions of "Bungalow", "Malaysian Trucks" and "Dancing to The Smiths" in the players below or to the side of this page. Enjoy.

Etc Going Aloft

Something to do this Saturday night: see sterling songsmiths Basement In My Loft play songs from their forthcoming album, See The Rhyme In The Dirt & Grime (plus songs from "a select catalog of the bands that shaped their sound"). Get familiar with Basement and their memorable powerful tunes in the intimate setting of The Prince of Wales Pub before they go on to rock Baybeats 2010 in a few months. 

The Etc trio open (starting at 9.30pm), making the most of a flying visit from their drummer, who is no longer based in Singapore. Thanks to Adrian Jones from Basement In My Loft and Malcolm Davis from The Prince of Wales for graciously sneaking Etc's trio of cheeky monkeys onto the bill. 

Facebook event page here. 

When: Saturday, 12 June, 2010. 

Where: P.O.W. - The Prince of Wales, 101 Dunlop Street, Little India (between Sim Lim and Serangoon), Singapore

Timing: 9.30-10.15pm: Etc. 10.30-till late: Basement In My Loft

STOP-PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT :: A Light in a Dark Room TONIGHT

This is being posted only a couple of hours before showtime - but anything to help seems like a good idea for this benefit show called A Light In A Dark Room. And it's a REAL benefit show. It's not a fund-raiser so a band can go and ponce around on a foreign stage... but an attempt to to raise funds for Mika –a mother-to-be– who has been diagnosed with a relapse of a type of blood cancer. The results from Sime Darby Medical Centre in Subang Jaya, Malaysia are that they're is suffering from lymph node biopsy – Anaplastic T Cell Lymphoma, ALK-1 positive.

The show is 7pm, tonight at Blackhole 212 $5 at the door. Bands playing include the lovely DIS IS IT: See the poster/flyer below. And spread the word. A little thing might make a big difference. 

Where's Blackhole 212? It's in the alley behind 212 Syed Alwi Rd, Singapore. And it's worth knowing this if you have any interest in Singapore music. It's a great place. Proper Indie - as in: independent like. 

What else you going to do tonight? American Idol? 

Etc :: "Will Until" the movie

Etc sometimes wonders what becomes of the photos and film footage they spot being made of them. Today, a kind soul called Patrick was kind enough to share links to some of his Etc archive. Here's what he caught of an early solo version of Will Until played at the Substation in 2008.
