This performance is wild. Watched it thrice last night.

I would advise against watching that on mushrooms.

Paul T. Riddle really assembled the perfect band to pay homage to Toy Caldwell & the MTB.
The Toy Factory Project last week at the Cap.

I see Spoon whenever they come to town. They are incredible. Even though they have an unmistakable sound, they are always doing something interesting. My favorite live song is probably "I Turn My Camera On", but they have an insanely deep catalogue. Chateau Blues will be a good live tune as well.

You, sir, are in for an absolute treat if you are going down that rabbit hole.

Spoon has been awesome for a long time.

Heck yeah! And with an album like Lucifer....show zero signs of slowing down. That album flows perfectly. Feels Alright is so good!

I like how they keep their Indy identity/vibe/sound, but also just rock out. A band for the people!

Totally, that's what I love about them. They just rock out and it always sounds fresh.

Wilco is another major indie band that came out at the same time who I liked early on but they got incredibly stale and boring for me.

Couldn't agree more on Wilco. I remember, as a young lad, working retail at American Eagle. The seasonal soundtrack had 3 or 4 tunes from YHF (along with Travis, The Shins,etc.), that was such a great era for indie music. Wilco seems to still be riding off the acclaim for that album, they don't do much for me. As you said, just meh and uninteresting.

Spoon can go out of their comfort zone, put out an album like Hot Thoughts, kill that then come back and give us an absolute gem like Lucifer. They are definitely the torch bearers from that era, along with Bon Iver and a few others.
