Frontier Touring are excited to announce the long-awaited return of critically acclaimed Austin rock ambassadors Spoon, performing two special headline shows in March. Spoon will perform at Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Thurs 23 March and Melbourne’s Croxton Bandroom on Sat 25 March in celebration of their highly-anticipated ninth studio album, Hot Thoughts – out Fri 17 March via Matador/Remote Control.
Spoon will return to Australia with founding members Britt Daniel (lead vocals/guitar) and Jim Eno (drums), along with Rob Pope (bass guitar, guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Alex Fischel (keyboard/guitar) and Gerardo Larios (keyboards /guitar).
Formed in 1993, Spoon immediately made their mark as one of the few modern bands who maintained their trademark hypnotic appeal throughout shifts in sound and tone. They were crowned Metacritic’s ‘Best Music of the Decade’ for the 2000s, thanks to their hugely successful albums, including: Girls Can Tell (2001), Kill The Moonlight (2002), Gimme Fiction (2005), which featured hits ‘I Turn My Camera On’ and ‘I Summon You’, Ga Ga Ga Ga (2007) featuring ‘The Underdog’ and ‘You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb’, and Transference, which brought singles such as ‘Is Love Forever’ and ‘Written In Reverse’.
2014’s They Want My Soul generated similar unanimous raves from fans and critics alike and producing hits such as ‘Do You’ and ‘Inside Out’.
Now all eyes and ears are on Spoon, fans eagerly awaiting their newest album. Hot Thoughts sees the band returning to label Matador, who released their debut Telephono in 1996. This reversion however doesn’t reflect a return to earlier sound, the band co-producing alongside Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Tame Impala). Title track ‘Hot Thoughts’ representing uncharted territory for the band. Despite radiating a familiar essence, the song weaves a mixture of pop-rock, psychedelic, garage and irresistible rhythms, landing it Consequence Of Sound’s #1 spot in their January Songs Of The Month.
Fans are encouraged to act quickly to be amongst the first to hear tracks from new album Hot Thoughts performed live for the very first time. Tickets go on sale next Wednesday! More info below.
