I never really listened to these guys much...but ever since I stated growing a couple years ago, Ive noticed tons of folks on here are all 'bout them. The little I have heard I like, but Im not blown away. I'm a huge live music fan so Im tempted to give their show a chance.
Im thinking of hitting my local date (Kietic Playground)but havent made up my mind for sure. I've been tripping and seeing live music for 10 years, so I need some veteran opinions...Is this a must see or not? Anyone seen these guys live before? What did you think?

Unfortunately I heard that none of those shows will be live, only dj sets. It will still be fun though I've seen a few shpongle dj sets and they were good times but it's just Posford pressing play on a cd player and mixing into the next song. Getting shpongled before the show is key.

It's a bit more complicated than that. He's got a mixing board with all kinds of shit going on. I saw Shpongle the last 2 years. Don't think I'll see them this year because it's a DJ set.

For the shpongle dj sets all he uses are two cd players and a mixing board to mix from song to song. The tracks he plays on the cd players are the same ones from the albums with nothing added.
Hallucinogen sets however are live pa sets so they're a whole other deal, and there is definitely a lot of live manipulation going on but unfortunately he just plays cd's at the shpongle dj sets.

Im halfway tempted to go just for the scene. Im also halfway tempted to stay very far away cause of the scene. I just don't know. If I do go there is no question about being shpongled, with extra shpongle to spare...
But it doesnt sound promising if its as "programmed" as you guys say. If Im gonna go I wants to see me some me some DJ skillz. Doesnt sonud like thats the show. I should have figured fromt he venue and thurs date that it wasnt a big deal.

I wouldn't travel too far to see him, but if he was close i'd definitely go. The closest one to me is Portland, but that's like six hours so.....
