Etc :: INDO-A-GO-GO in Jakarta :: 'Dangdut Hanyut'

Like is says on the Facebook event page (here):

Etc's plans go south -literally- because we're bound for Jakarta where we hope to continue our happy tradition of playing our songs to people who have never heard of us; and where Harvey will also bash the skins for SONGS FOR THE DEAF (playing songs you may already know) at their farewell show. 

Where: EASTERN PROMISE Kemang Raya 5, Kemang, JK, Indonesia. 

What/when:       

6 Nov (Fri): SONGS FOR THE DEAF - Farewell Show

7 Nov (Sat):  Etc and  MR JASON BLAIR & THE DENIROS 

(Thanks to Lens of THE MISKINSfor making this happen)

A message: "ma'af untuk rosak-bahasa saya (tapi saya fikir saya mesti cuba): SAYA GEMBIRA BERMAIN DANGDUT HANYUT KAMI UNTUK SAUDARA DI NEGARA SAUDARA. SAMPAI JUMPA!"

And here's the logo. Some playful bahasa on an Indonesian flag background. Dangdut is a form of music that's popular in the region.Hanyut is a word that can be translated as 'adrift'. I got that from a Joseph Conrad. Probably Lord Jim. 



Am dreading the mental arithmetic challenges ahead. All I know so far is the taxi from the airport is $150,000.
