Hi Shpongle Fans,
Twisted Records has recently received several emails regarding the Shpongle Live
concerts due to take place in Australia in March 2009, so we’d like to set the record
straight once and for all. Sadly I am the bearer of bad news as unfortunately these two
concerts will no longer be taking place, and this is why:
An events company in Australia requested to book two Shpongle Live shows to take
place in Sydney and Melbourne. A contractual agreement was drawn up by Twisted and
was signed by the promoter, however despite us chasing numerous times and extending
the payment window, the event promoter has fallen short of even making the basic
deposit in order to secure the booking of the band.
It was agreed that no promotion would take place until the act had been secured by a
deposit, so it was a shock to discover that tickets were already on sale and promotion
had started.
We were assured that the payment was made, however it has transpired that the events
agency in Australia were unable to finance this project and sadly Shpongle will no longer
be playing live in March. This is a great shame as the band were very much looking
forward to seeing their Aussie fans and getting Shpongled down under.
If you want to be the first to know about Shpongle events in the future, then please sign
up to our newsletter and keep an eye on the Twisted homepage where confirmed dates
will appear first.
For a chance to hear some of the fantastic new tracks from Shpongle 4, Simon Posford
will be spinning a Shpongle DJ set at the Tribadelic events happening soon, highly
recommended and not to be missed!
