this is SYNDICATE

you prolly havent heard anything about them
but this four-piece australian band, from sydney, 
have already scored their first aussie number one with their first single, 'shout'!

they released their debut self-titled album in july and 
it debuted at #20 on the album charts and on the fourth position on the australian album charts.

so, need i say more?

anyways, lead singer greg, guitarist chris, bassist matt and drummer jason were recently in town to promote themselves and we were all invited to watch them play at a closed-door, invite-only show at TAB late last month
(T H A N K  Y O U  C O L I N!)
and they played a second show the next evening at the pump room in clarke quayy..

their trip to singapore and their performances here marked their debut show in the whole of asia - singapore's sure to be honured!

and just bout 30mins before their show at TAB,
colin brought us to the holding room where the band was chilling and getting themselves ready for the show
we chatted and hung out with them for a wee while 
and they were awesome, quirky and funnyy 
very easy going guys who obviously are happy and proud to be in a band and doing what they love - music.

and shortly after, they had to get themselves ready for the big show,
well we all know bands and pre-show rituals so we let them be

and when they came on stage,
besides the music was louder than greg's vocals,
they were awesome.

they did a bunch of songs from their album and we loved what we heard!
be it acoustically or plugged,
these guys are really really good!
did i also mention that jason is mad mad mad on the drums?
i told him that, and he know it! HA HA!

we're also pretty sure with the right people to market them,
they'll could be H U G E ! !
and we were told that they will be releasing their album in the U S of A next year
and are managed by the same people who managed nickleback!
okay, I'm sure you'll be hearing a lot from them in 2012!!

anyhow, here are some snaps from the gig!
