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.
 

 
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! Be one of the first 100 to sign up to the door list and snap up an awesome prize!
