2008's First Must See Indie Rock Road Show
HOT NEW TOUR: SPOON & the WALKMEN
It's been a tremendous 500 days for Austin indie kings Spoon . The band topped many a "Best of" list for 2007. For most, it was ironically - Spoon's indie rock anthem "The Underdog" that put them on top of the indie world. Having just see them play a show here in Boston with Cold War Kids; (Spoon was supported by the New York horns). (My thoughts: Spoon was very, very good and the Cold War Kids were fucking incredible!)
Spoon has been on the road - touring extensively since 2001. Based on what I've seen and how dedicated the band is to impressing audience - All I can say is the new tour with The Walkmen is going to be hot! This April brings the first must-see tour of the year. Too bad it's so short!

And then there's tour partners The Walkmen. This group is incredible and extremely under exposed based on their talent. It's hard to imagine, but this band can perform almost any song, any style. I have never seen them live but I have heard many a live recording. I would love to catch this tour.
