Salvador Santana will release his new album, Keyboard City in early 2010. In an effort to prep the release of the album, we gave his website a bit of a face lift. The Syndicate’s online creative team built the site, helping put together a site that fell in line with Sal’s vision for Keyboard City.

Check out www.salvadorsantana.com and navigate yourself around the site which was just launched this week.

The Syndicate online creative team put together this widget where you can preview clips from the DVD…including the awesome animated short “Your Fuckin’ Outta Here Man”. In addition to the share features and clips, the widget also incorporated the tweets from Mike’s Twitter. Also another feature was added to this widget, and that’s a Facebook app where you can send it to your friends letting them know they are OUTTA HERE!

Now, to put a nice bow on the end of a great year – which also included a sold out tour across the states – Dane is releasing the DVD companion of the Special. The DVD includes a never before seen interview with the man as well as the entire special, unedited. And it all comes out in time for the holidays.

Check out this widget The Syndicate online creative team put together announcing the release of the DVD. Our online street and publicity arms are also working with the project to help get the funny out to the masses.

The band’s latest album Vivarium is available digitally now and will be released via Red Bull Records in the early part of 2010.

Check out this widget that was put together by our online creative team. It features an entirely fan shot video for the band’s song “Old Grey Face.” The band invited everyone out to their show at Studio 24 overseas and asked them to shoot the performance. All of these fan clips where then put together to make a video.

The release of Vivarium is something The Syndicate’ entire team will be a part of in some capacity, street marketing, online street marketing, online publicity, radio, and online creative design. Go Team!

The Syndicate will also utilize its online publicity outreach specialists to support the releases.

Lucy said: “The best part was definitely when the guys from Dommin came out asking for posters and stickers (plus some for their tour bus). They were really awesome people and told me how much they love Rammstein… apparently they listen to them while driving the bus and to get pumped up for shows, and two of them said it was their dream to tour with Rammstein one day. At first I thought they’d be a little irked that I was promoting another band at their show, but they were loving it!”

Great work Lucy! We are loving it!

This eCard was built by The Syndicate’s creative team to help promote Mitch’s DVD release Mitch Fatel Is Magical. Preview two tracks from the DVD which hits stores on September 22nd.

Graham and I boarded ship last night for WFUV’s annual boat cruise. Maybe sea legs aren’t my strongest suit but- great goodness it was fun! Cory Chisel DJ’d a set, and the boat turned into an immense booty-shaking dance party. There is something intrinsically humorous and awesome about watching mom-aged women dance to “99 Problems”… I personally found it very educational, almost like a perfectly intentional social experiment. Think about it- load up a huge double-decker boat with a bunch of people who don’t know each other, feed them lots of tropically-alcoholic beverages and bad hotdogs, and then throw some mainstream hiphop into the mix? Very amusing, to say the least.

After the cruise, we headed to Lucky Strike (also overpriced), and played what could’ve possibly been the longest singular game of bowling in the history of chain-bowling alleys (which, come to think of it, may not be all that extensive). We went old-school girls vs. boys style, and were joined by Rita Houston from WFUV, Cory Chisel and Adriel Heiss Harris (from Cory’s band), and folks from Black Seal Records and RED Distribution. I’m pretty sure nobody knows who won. I got a pair of socks out of the deal.
