Hello and welcome to Botkyrka Synthförening's homepage. 

History
This organisation was started in august-september of 1998 after I had been involved with Synthmusic since early childhood.
Another reason to why it was founded was the lack of organisations where to reunite and do things since there are already plenty of bands, festivals, bars, magazines but no such thing as an organisation.
I was then getting quite fed up realizing that Synthmusic is quite unique and very wonderful , but yet there are so many Synthfreaks outhere and still so separated and isolated from each other.
Yet another driving force was the fact that Synthmusic is extremely underrated and anonymous in today's society.
Since my early childhood I  had been listening quite much to Synthmusic, and now that I was older I started seeing in my surroudings that there was nobody else around me who also liked this music.
So I started searching and searching and searching... 
...Until I finally found another person in the surroundings who actually liked this music.
He joined it, and we started getting more active with the organisation.

Present
We are now currently working on printing and spreading flyers.
We are also working on making membershipcards and other stuff(God help us!!! *sigh*).
...And last but not least; always trying to promote Synthmusic! :)

Future
To expand! 
We must find more people who would want to join us in this organisation.
So...

• Do you live in Botkyrka, Haninge, Huddinge, Nynäshamn, Salem, Södertälje, Tyresö or southern part of Stockholm innercity(Södermalm)?
• Do you also like such music as Synth, Synthpop, EBM or Industrial? That is, bands like Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Front 242 or Skinny Puppy; for instance(if you support the opinions of Nazis or Satanists, then you CAN´T  join this organisation).
  
  Then join us in this organisation- Botkyrka Synthförening! :)  And it´s free!! No cost at all.... so far

Story behind its name
Why? Because it was founded and started in the municipality of Botkyrka, a municipality where there are a lot of so called kickers and no Synthare(Synthfreaks) at all(as far as I'm concerned I am probably THE only Synthare there).
The name says it all also, a Synthorganisation in kickerland, an oasis in a musical desert.

The Purpose
To spread the message of Synthmusic in this part of Sweden, it needs to be spread.
I´ll just quote Depeche Mode:
"Spreading the news around the world Taking the word to boys and girls I´m a firm believer And a warm receiver..."

Cheers!
