Etc... is a Czech rock band from Prague, formed in 1974 by singer and guitarist Vladimír Mišík.[1] Various musicians have rotated through the group's ranks, including violist Jan Hrubý (Framus Five), bassist Jiří Veselý (Stromboli, Žlutý pes), guitarist Petr "Kulich" Pokorný (Framus Five, Žlutý Pes), drummer Ivan Kadaňka, bassist/cellist Jaroslav Olin Nejezchleba, as well as bassists Vladimír Padrůněk and Vladimír Guma Kulhánek.[2]

Between 1982 and 1985, the group was banned from performing by the Communist government.[3]

In 2010, Etc... was inducted into the Beatová síň slávy (Beat Hall of Fame)[4] and released the album Ztracený podzim.[5]

In 2011, the group, minus Vladimír Mišík, released a collaboration album with Vladimír Merta, titled Ponorná řeka.[6][7]
