Upcoming events

A death rattle is usually a phenomenon experienced by those who are not long for this world.  In this case not so!  Get ready to resist the reins of the reaper, and get on down with the April SYN Approved artist: The Death Rattles.
 
An eclectic act, The Death Rattles were born on the backroads of blues, country noir and bluegrass.  Meandering into town on a lonely desert highway, the Melbourne five-piece present a bitter sweet sound; one of murder ballads, stories of lost souls and unrequited love.
 

 
 
Presented by Express Media to celebrate Youth Week 2012, six of Victoria’s bright young thinkers must each articulate the one single idea that matters most to them, and it must be presented in six minutes or less.

 SYN’s Genre Night Gigs series is back in 2012, and in conjunction with Revolver Upstairs is celebrating the genre of Dance.
 
 
Dance Night will showcase some of Melbourne’s freshest emerging DJ’s and producers, with a lineup comprising of Snuf.au, Tomderson, Jay Cams and Milo.
 
 
 

Are you into beautiful music? Then you should probably come and see The Townhouses play SYN Approved on Thursday, November 10. He will be supported by The Parking Lot Experiments, Denim Owl, and Rainbow Chan.
 

Join SYN's The Awkward Stage - Live radio training during weekends and school holidays.
 
The Awkward Stage is a fun hands-on training course made just for under-18's that happens live on the air every weekend and school holidays.  Learn all about studio technical skills; on-air announcing; planning and producing a radio show; media law and community broadcasting while making live radio on SYN.
 
 

YOU could be a master of sound!
 
Work with local ambient sound artists to learn how to record ambient sounds and build your own soundscape through editing, mixing and adding effects. Final soundscapes will be played on the signal speakers and on SYN Radio.
 

Our October SYN Approved artist is independent, and then some. 
 
In 2010 they released the home-spun tape warp experiment Dictaphonium 1, but you might have trouble tracking this rare item down.
 

Hand-picked by Kate Nash you say? Yes indeed, Tessa and the Typecast have a powerful indie-pop style that won them a spot supporting the English songstress on her recent Australian tour, and we’re predicting they will charm your little cotton socks off when they grace the stage for SYN Approved on Thursday, September 8th. The Staffordswill be supporting.

Collarbones will be playing the SYN Approved gig on Thursday, August 11th, supported by Brothers Hand Mirror, Guerre and Franco Cozzo. The sample-based music duo are Sydney's Marcus Whale (Cyst Impaled) and Adelaide's Travis Cook (Scissor Lock). Together the two mix fragments from mainstream pop, R n’ B and an array of underground and local acts via the internet, then meet to perform them live.
 

 
Signal will light up the night in the winter holidays with The Hoist By The Tracks: Off The Rails!, a scorching underage dance party! (Remote Sounds) will be spinning your favourite indie, electro, dance and old school tracks to dance the night away. Plus!
