Spoon played a not-really-secret show last night at Skully’s. It was one of those Jack Daniel’s sponsored shows. The good part is that there’s no cover charge and a lot of free booze. The bad news is tickets are hard to come by so you gotta work it. Needless to say, I got in.
The band sounded great. A nice mix of their catalog plus some new songs thrown in for good measure. Times New Viking opened the show, but I got there too late to see ’em. And the show was over by midnight, a plus for this old man.
There’s a bunch of reviews of the show in our message board.
I saw Spoon do one of those Jack Daniels shows in Chicago just before Gimme Fiction came out. It was awesome seeing them at Metro with only about 300 other people.
We’re supposed to see Wolfmother do a Jack Daniels show tonight, but I fear there are going to be a lot more than 300 people at that one …four
