Shpongle w/ Phutureprimitive 4/19/12 Toads

 Came in with Phutureprimitive at the helm. One skater type spitting beats. Large crowd of youngsters waiting for Simon Posford aka Shpongle. Same idea as opener but with a little more pep to the beats and some bizarre vocal snippets wound into the mix. Tame light show but the crowd was in a constant state of motion.  I feel weird to say, but this show was not trippy enough. The music is infectious but needs the whole package for success. Show was listed as a masquerade, where were the masks, the light show.  Seems like a lot of space between top electronica acts like Thievery Corp and the second layer, I urge young people with laptops to get busy. Shpongle did play his hit Divine Moment of Truth which is kind of like his Lucy in the Sky. He didn't play the B-side, Mother Don't Make Applesauce, just kidding.
