Date: Friday 14 August

Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to present: SYND.

Gothenburg’s most uncompromising underground band. Moving effortlessly between synth-punk, experimental electronic dance music, dub and glamorous ballads, SYND creates a sonic landscape where desperation meets euphoria.

Featuring analogue synthesizers, drum machines, xylophone, iPad, congas, misused contact microphones and a delay-drenched saxophone, the band crafts a soundtrack for the alienated soul.

Live, SYND is as much a state of mind as it is a concert. Equal parts birdsong and engine noise. Dark, dazzling and unpredictable.

This is music for those who want to dance with uncertainty, for those who choose to lose themselves on purpose.

MAG MAG enchants the audience after audiences all over Europe with her strong voice and distorted punk trombone pop. She is a name in the Gothenburg underground music scene and with her long tentacles forward and backward in time MAG enters the stage and performs demonically blaring megaphone vocals, seductively trombone melodies, drum machine slams, and rabbitsyntezis terror noises.  Creating all alone on stage a permissive world to marvel at. The music manages to be powerfully personal yet privately political at the same time as you dance your way through the beats with wagging tails. Her second album En Fis I Rymden was released 2 Dec 2022 on the Gothenburg indie label Surplus Recordings. The lyrics is this time all in Swedish and the title would literally be translated into “a fart in space” which is a Swedish idiom equivalent to “a drop in the ocean”. Magdalena Ågren also currently plays in three other band projects, SORK and Trapped in a Loop and BADA.
