RARE BEAT - GARAGE ROCK AND PSYCHEDELIC
THE SYN
Records are not for sale - For your viewing pleasure only

The roots of The Syn are in an earlier north London R&B band called High Court including Steve Nardelli on guitar and his school friend George Arzimanow on vocals. The band evolved over time and, in 1965, with Nardelli now handling lead vocals and John Painter on guitar, they changed their name to The Syn. Shortly after, however, The Syn merged with another local band, The Selfs. The band's first gig, at Nardelli's school Kingsbury County, included covers of "Heat Wave" and The Marvelettes' "I'll Keep On Holding On". After John Painter was replaced by Peter Banks and Martyn Adelman was replaced by Gunnar Hákonarson, the band moved away from R&B covers and started writing their own material. They also got a new manager, Peter Huggett, former bass player with Lonnie Donegan. Reflecting the musical changes going on around them, they became more influenced by psychedelia. They released two singles titled Created by Clive and 14 Hour Technicolor Dream in 1967. The band split up in 1967. Both Squire and Banks then joined Mabel Greer's Toyshop and then Yes.
