Shpongle - band?! I don't think so.. It's more a collaboration of two amazing psychedelic artists Simon Posford and Raja Ram, with the technology and extensive knowledge needed to start the ball rolling. But... band? Naaaahhhhhhh (listen to 'Outer Shpongolia')
You are obviously out of the loop dude, it's a 7 piece live Band set, with Posford, Raja Ram and a few other musicians... hence the term live BAND set... this will be the first time Shpongle have ever done it in the UK and the 3rd time ever (they've only done it twice before in Japan). This is why it is so exclusive and tickets sold out in literally a month back in March for an october gig. followed by a phat afterparty with green nuns of the revolution and some 90s goa djs etc. going to be mentalia!
Infact, here's what TWISTED records had to say about the event: "Shpongle's first full LIVE performance for many years will be showcasing not only old classic material played by a 7 piece band but also a host of new and exciting material that will be making up Shpongle's 4th Album. Its been talked about for 10 years, but now its happening. This special concert will be held at the Roundhouse London UK on the 31st October 2008. You do NOT want to miss this. It will be an audio visual experience to tell your grandchildren about. Tickets for Shpongle LIVE in the Roundhouse, Camden are now available from their website! Reserve your place for this landmark event at a price of £23.23 + booking fee." out of the loop you definitely must be! and here's lineup for the afterparty...

So it was good, but I didn't like the whole everyone face forward set up. Should have been able to flow free and mangle about rather than feel like was in a mosh pit. New album sounds quite good but they prolly should have played more old stuff than the new album.
