Sydonia will take a break from recording their eagerly anticipated 2nd Album to hit Revolver on the 19th November 2011. This will be a special night as they will be playing their much heralded 1st album “Given to Destroyers” from start to finish for the first time in over four years!

Complete with epic drum and percussion sections, brooding melodies, sheer toughness and with the obligatory segues and the odd bit of hairy banjo, “Given to Destroyers” is an album that underscored the local scene and put Sydonia on the road with a number of established bands both here and in the USA.

Join Sydonia for a celebration of what lies behind as they forge ahead at Revolver Upstairs on the Saturday the 19th of November, 2011. – Buy Tickets Here

Sydonia have a plethora of fine support bands so be early to catch opening act Suzie Stapleton solo acoustic serenade, followed by the hardened brutal rock assault all the way from WA that is BRUTUS (buy their merch, the distance from Perth to Melbourne is the equivalent of London to Moscow. Perth is the most remote city in the world) and not to forget local alternative treat for the ears ENNIS TOLA.

Check out all of their respective Facebooks etc for a sneak preview, but as always, music is better in first person, so be there in it…right in it.
