___ Etc 2006 ___

Etc 2006: Adrian (guitar); Ben (guitar, vocals); Lennat (drums); Vinita (bass).

Etc’s ‘Adolesce’ was chosen for the BBC’s ‘Global Top 10’ website. The song rated in the Straits Times Top 5 singles of 1997: “One of the finest tracks on any single CD this year, definitely the strongest lyrical offering, Etc’s “Adolesce” is a most literate piece of garage pop. A treat…”

Etc are configured to play in a number of line-ups, depending on the occasion or who can make it. 2005 saw Etc perform as a quartet; trio; a duo featuring drums, guitar & vocals; solo acoustic … even performing ‘his’n’hers’ duets with a special mystery guest.

The members of Etc all first met at various concerts in Singapore: Having seen Adrian around on his skateboard, the first time Ben remembers speaking to him was at Henry Rollins infamous early ‘90s Singapore gig; Ben met bass & violinist Vinita Bukit Batok C.C. when Fugazi played their legendary first Singapore concert there in 1993; Ben first met drummer Lennat when they were both working as stage crew at a Tsunami Relief Benefit Fundraising Concert 2005.

Adrian is also the sole official member of Rocket Scientist who have recorded a number of as-yet-unreleased albums.

Lennat’s biggest inspiration is The White Stripes.

International musicians who have given Etc their approval include members of Blur, Fugazi, Sonic Youth, Pearl Jam and the Foo Fighters. Ben was surprised when his visiting parents enjoyed an Etc set at the Esplanade in 2005.

Over the years, Ben has amassed literally stacks of lyric books, but he deliberately tries to avoid writing because “songs are too much of responsibility – because once they’re born, I have to look after them and make sure they’re doing ok.”
