Raja Ram pulls plug on London Shpongle gig

Earlier today it was confirmed that there will be NO Live Shpongle gig at Brixton Academy on May 25th and no plans for future live performances. Raja Ram - one half of the band formed with Simon Posford, turned down the exciting opportunity to play at one of the UK's most exclusive live music venues. In a statement given by Simon P earlier today, he confirmed; " Raja Ram said 'No'... he won't do Brixton Academy... which means that right now, there's no plans for a Shpongle Live Show."

But it's not all doom and gloom for Shpongle fans, Simon Posford also announced that they HAVE committed to making a fourth shpongle album.

"All that time we would have spent working on a live show, we can now put into the studio, so yes there WILL be a Shpongle 4 - Hooray!"

When asked about other up and coming live events in 2007 Simon P said:

"Unfortunately, with Raj pulling out of the gig has left us with a huge

Brixton Academy sized hole in the record label......any suggestions as to what to do with the date? we are thinking possibly a Younger Brother launch party for the new album, with Hallucinogen-in-Dub live...?"

So Twisted fans, answers on a Postcard please... Let us know who you would most like to see at Brixton Academy on May 25th.
