Spoon

All 4 East Coast Oz shows were pure bliss. Hearing these songs transformed live is a spiritual experience...the live dynamic really takes you on a journey of light n shade n pure rock'n'roll excitement...we may have cried (more than once)... Britt's vocal delivery is raw, soulful and heartfelt, expressing the lyrics and feel of each song with plenty of grit....his guitar tones and string attack cuts through your soul...Jim's beats are snappy and large and orchestrate every track beautifully...he chucks a good maraca too! Alex pulls off the crazy key solos, climaxing guitar and adds further tones n sounds n energy to the mix...Gerardo is one cool character, filling the space with glorious keys, well placed tambo n maraca action and all the jangly guitar a fan could ask for...Ben's a welcome addition to the band, bringing his 6Ts chops n feel to the groove with yet another stand out tone.... in fact when all 4 guitars are lined up on the stage with Jim holding it all together, we experienced the most powerful live rock'n'roll ensemble to date (for real 👊). Writing this now has me goosebumpin' like a love struck teen.... Spoon are something else...they are performers, not just Class A musos... they put on a show and offer something for your eyes as well as your ears (and your soul)...the comradery and quirky interactions between all members take it to another level again....haven't been moved quite like this before...guess we're heading to the US to do it again real soon. ✌❤ Ant, Lee & Ivy
