In my review of the Spoon set at the Capitol Hill Block Party over the weekend I wrote:
The last time Spoon played for a Seattle audience was the Sasquatch festival in May (I know it was at the Gorge in Eastern Washington, but I bet more people made the drive from Seattle than the much-closer Spokane) and before that, they played Bumbershoot last September. That’s three consecutive festivals now. I hope the next time Spoon plays in Seattle it’ll be a proper Spoon show with a Spoon audience.
Well, I just found out this morning (less than 48 hours after I wrote the above paragraph) that they will be playing at the Showbox on September 5. Tickets are on sale now.
