[tajmall]

GIG: Etc :: X's Cassettes
DAY/TIME: Thursday, January 29, 2009 :: 9:30pm
PLACE: P.O.W: The Prince of Wales, 101 Dunlop Street, Little India, Singapore 209420
Tel: (+65) 6299 0130 :: Email: ents.pow@gmail.com MRT: Little India / Bugis

"...critically-acclaimed indie-rock duo Etc celebrates the legacy of their friend ('X') and the mix tapes they made over two decades ago when much music was hard to come by in Singapore... tapes that were shared amongst Singapore's fledgling alternative music community, possibly influencing the course of local music as we know it.

"Etc have yet to reveal the identity of their special guest, but the band may venture beyond their own bittersweet originals to include covers of songs first heard on X's mixes, so don't be surprised if Etc takes on the likes of Sonic Youth and The Gun Club, or even local heroes like Oddfellows and Zircon Lounge..."
