Shpongle has just announced a string of spring dates to promote their new "Masquerade" tour that will also feature Simon Posford's solo project, Hallucinogen. The psybient UK-based duo plans to hit a variety of locations, from Europe to cities throughout the Midwest, South and Northeast of the US.
They are also set to headline the Rock N' Roll Resort festival in the Catskill Mountains of New York the first weekend in April. See our previous News Nug for more info on this event.
Shpongle is a unique, psychedelic experience known for its crazy visuals and over-the-top sideshow acts. According to their website, they describe the experience as ". . . a strange hybrid of electronic manipulation and shamanic midgets with frozen digits squeezing the envelope and crawling through the doors of perception, find a new pair of dice . . . extra numbers and colours an infinite expanding bubble, filled with a bizarre, strange world of dripping hallucinatory wallpaper, a garden of earthly delights . . . . . . . . . . . Shpongleland . . . . . a place of well being, and reflective surfaces, morphing like an Anacondas skin and shimmering like a million colour changing squid, at fifty fathoms . . truly unfathomable like separating water from it's wetness, the Ineffable Mysteries unweave . . . . . "
Yeah, it's like that. For more information on Shpongle, visit his official website.
