Fresh off the press: Etc was enjoying prolonging their winter hibernation until a few minutes ago. Then a call came in that woke them up to the heat and dust of the day: a request that Etc plays tonight – Friday 2nd May 2008 – at Prince of Wales.
In keeping with Etc tradition, Etc automatically offered another act instead - in this case, Deserters. But when contacted, Zack –fresh into Singapore for this weekend's giggery– was at the bar and claimed to be already too sozzled to play. So, in keeping with the Etc tradition of being rough and ready, Etc said: yes.
Hats off to new recruit Harvey (drums), who continues to pass Etc's bootcamp tests with flying colours. He didn't hesitate when asked about the gig – and had already begun to pack his drum-kit to bring to the venue as we spoke.
We're due on at 9.30pm. That's less than three hours. Better get my stuff. Prince of Wales is in Singapore. It's located at 101 Dunlop Street, Little India.
This could be a recipe for disaster.
