Genre defying indie psychedelic post-rockers Svntax Error celebrate the release of their third album Fires Of Home with an immense show at The Vanguard on Saturday 12th September 2026.
Special guests will be the heavy psych of Melbourne’s Mushroom Giant, launching their new single ‘A Perfect Storm’, and the doom laden post-punk of Sydney’s The Veil. A truly amazing night of music.
SVNTAX ERROR
Svntax Error have toured Australia with Japanese post‑rock titans MONO, performed at the post rock mecca of Belgium’s Dunk! Festival and London’s legendary Black Heart. Their last Sydney show was at The Metro Theatre, performing alongside Cog and US cult icons …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead.
Armed with two acclaimed albums and the brand new Fires Of Home, the band continues to push deeper into widescreen, atmospheric, and sonically adventurous territory.
"Brilliant, creative, beautifully atmospheric and dripping with talent."

MUSHROOM GIANT (MELBOURNE)
Born 20+ years ago in the early Aussie heavy-psych scene, Melbourne-based 4-piece Mushroom Giant has reshaped, reimagined and redefined their sound with every album they’ve made, dating back to their first album “Rails” way back in 2003 – and with pretty much the same lineup. Since then they’ve produced another three albums with the most recent being 2023’s ‘In a Forest’, released on vinyl via Dunk! Records and garnering high praise from around the world.
THE VEIL
The Veil are a unique entity in the Australian underground, their dark and expansive music long having been the vehicle for Che de Boehmler’s sonorous baritone and multifaceted guitar work.
Now having recently launched their new album Departures, The Veil return to The Vanguard to showcase their signature sound that effortlessly combines Post-Punk and Doom with moments of Shoegaze beauty and Black Metal catharsis. Expect to hear a rarely aired track or two to mark the occasion.
“Did someone say mushrooms? Those of the human kind in Mushroom Giant absolutely floored the entire space with their booming tones. Instrumental only, yes, but boy, they made it great to watch. With stunning visuals creating some wonderful background effects for the photographers, the band launched into a cascade of awesome tunes that left plenty walking away mesmerised. You’d be hard-pressed to find a better instrumental band in the country.”
