Possible tour of the year alert! Spoon, who will be releasing their 7th album Transference on January 18 on Merge, of course decided to kick off their upcoming in where else but their home town of Austin. Specifically, for South By Southwest. And they're bring some really fucking great bands with them. Austin's own snotty punk kids The Strange Boys for the first half of the tour, pint-sized electro twichers Micachu and the Shapes for the second half (please come to Austin!), and the legendary shoegaze masters Deerhunter for the whole tour. Get those wallets ready for when you have to buy 100 dollar ticket from a guy outside the club due to the whole tour being sold out.

I might go to the Electric Ballroom one :)
ReplyDeleteI'd feel a bit of a fraud though, but I do quite like Spoon and want to hear more Deerhunter.
Thanks for letting me know!
Jamie, sorry to say, but Deerhunter won't be touring with Spoon until their US dates. However, definitly go see Spoon anyway, they just keep getting better.
