I'm thinking of going to Synthetic this Friday at the University. Has anyone else been? Is it mostly 80s synthpop or do they play recent stuff too?

Synthetic is my fave club !! It astounds and saddens me that it's in such a tiny venue, and is only on every 2 or 3 months :( I think it should go monthly for definite (i'd go weekly, but yes i know a lot of people would get bored....) Always a nice atmosphere in there, and the music is old AND new stuff. Here are some of the bands that they play & more info:
