hey boombox, by gong and offshoots you mean like gongzilla, correct? I just caught them for the first time at the moe.down a few weeks ago and was very impressed. chuck garvey sat in with them on guitar for a few songs too which is always nice, seeing as he is satan and all.
As for gong and offshoots, I\'ve not caught gongzilla yet - only discovered them in the last couple of days through wayne\'s excellent recording mentioned in the BT forum, which I recommend anyone with some spare bandwidth to download. Good to see chuch sitting in - gz\'s guitarist sat in with them earlier this year.
Have seen three or four different lineups of gong, daevid on his own (wild acoustic show) and University of Errors (with Josh Pollock on guitar) twice. Haven\'t seen the latest incarnation of gong as they have cancelled the tour due to costs; hoping for a mini-festival in the spring, if Daevid and Gilli\'s statements on their website are to be believed. UoE are probably among the better shows I\'ve seen (lots of energy with a mixture of Gong, Soft Machine and UoE originals), though I\'ve yet to see any version have a bad night!!
