This venue is DEFINITELY not even close to 30ft… :(

I find it weird that his people would book that venue then, since this is the “Shpongletron Experience” tour…

Yeah i saw the shpongletron at the boulder theatre!

Holy shit it was amazing!  It even surpassed my ridiculously high expectations, it was suprisingly good! I was tripping very good to and it just blew my mind (no small task)!!

The people there were just amazing as well, everyone being brothers and sisters getting high and going on a journey with the music!  You could smell the dmt in the air all night wink

I really believe it was some landmark shit, the pinnacle of the evolution of music!

Great great work!!

GO SEE SHPONGLETRON!!

The vid clips posted on facebook look amazing, the whole set up is a different level to just Simon Djing.

Wow! Like electrobot said, its more than Simon just DJing a set. All the previous Shpongle shows I have been to have almost been like a song by song set. Mixed but nothing like this. This was different. Everything was mixed in and out, back and forth. It was fucking nuts! The stage setup was incredible. If anyone here has a chance to see this, GO!
Also got to meet Simon before the show and he signed my whole Shpongle vinyl set smile

I hope they do a DVD of the tour, the clips on the Youtube channel look great.  It would be nice to see a current interview with Simon, I guess with the success of the tour and Shpongle doing Camp Bisco he must be thinking of Shpongle 5 down the line at some point.

My friends who saw the Shponglatron show in Memphis told me that Posford pitched a hissy fit after his Memphis show over the PA, this was confirmed by 2 independent sources, both of which stated that he commented:

“Next time people need to bring a friend, I have more groupies in my tour bus than came out to this event.”

followed up by the ever classy

“Maybe I’ll see some of you later in my bed”.

Anyone else witness this nonsense?

Last time I saw him he was booty dancing with ladies on the stage, obviously not giving a fuck about djing, trainwrecking tracks, and he was enjoying humping the “pretty ladies” he invited on stage.  Later that night my friend who opened for him gave him a demo of his production and Posford rolled his eyes and threw it out in front of him.

His energy has totally changed from starry eyed idealist with his finger on the pulse of psychedelia to jaded attention whore rockstar,  he has gone from one of the most impressive musicians in electronic music to a rockstar ego-pumped burnout.

I think the money has gone to his head and he will never get a dime from me again.

I think he’ll settle for euros or pounds.

Who are these independent sources??? Ever thought that the bed statement, if made, was just Simon’s zany sense of humour.

The two sources are two close friends, one of which has a shpongle tattoo, and is obviously fanatically in love with his music, and was noticeably shocked with this occurrence.

Neither of them seemed to think that it was a “zany sense of humor”, I wasn’t there, this wasn’t from a first hand account, but the last time I saw him play he most certainly was more interested with grinding with seemingly underage girls, getting more girls to come on stage for him to hump, for an hour or two rather than bother with mixing.

I love the man’s music, appreciate all he has done for psychedelic music in general, I just tend to doubt his current connection to his fans, and his music.
