Spoon at the Astor

Last here in 2008 for a tour that included appearances at all six Big Days Out, as surprise guest to the Arcade Fire and for their own headline shows, Texan minimalists Spoon return this Autumn for a selection of major city headline shows.

The 2010 tour coincides with the release of a brand new album Transference, the follow-up to 2007's much heralded US Top Ten hit Ga, Ga, Ga, Ga, Ga. Unlike its predecessor though (arguably the band's most polished statement to date) Transference is a stark reminder of the proverb "less is more" and a nod perhaps to the bare bones production style of the band that inspired the Spoon name: krautrock founders, Can.

"On Transference, it's quality not quantity of melody that sticks: each song is spinal, gutsy, emotional and different. Here Spoon drops the polish to give us rough, ready and human rock." - Drum Media (Album of the Week)

"What a joy it is that bands like Spoon exist. Easily one of the most consistent bands of the last decade-plus, they have become almost synonymous with their indie-cool swagger and their calculated and nuanced approach to making records" - absolutepunk.com

"While Transference is remarkable in its own right, song for song it stands tall alongside the best of the band's entire catalog." - Under The Radar

Live too, Spoon are trimmed of any excess and deliver a show based on precision, passion and skill. You'll hear no unnecessary guitar or drum solos at a Spoon concert.
