What's shakin' yo!

This Monday internationally acclaimed DJ and performance artist Shpongle comes to Flagstaff's Green Room. A new world of traditional sounds, acoustic guitars, Moroccan drums, Turkish operatic singing, cello, double bass, backing vocals and silver flute blended together with the computer wizardry of Simon Posford's studio production. His international fan base has flowered from country-wide to world-wide in the last ten years. This year alone he has played over 16 sell out gigs around the world, each with a capacity of over 1500 people, in Australia, Israel, New York, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Moscow, Geneva, Montreal, and Tokyo to name just a few.

Joining Shpongle will be VJ Zebbler who does sick projections as well as Arche Dream for Humankind, a blacklight mask and dance troupe. This event is going to be amazing and if you like trippy world beat/electronica you will dig!

Upcoming shows:
7/28 The Original Wailers @ Green Room
8/27 Lee Scratch Perry @ Green Room
9/10 B-Side Players @ Plush (Tucson)
9/11 B-Side Players @ Sail Inn (Tempe)
9/12 Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers @ Orpehum
9/12 B-Side Players @ Green Room
10/6 Groundation @ Green Room
10/13 Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats @ Prochnow Auditorium
