Instant Classic

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
The Austin-based rock band, Spoon, has just released their newest record, Gimme Fiction, that some critics have dubbed an instant classic. Spoon forged its reputation in the '90s as an indie-rock, post-punk band cast in the same mold as The Pixies, and they've gone on to critical acclaim in the indie music scene. Their lead singer, Britt Daniel, comes by today, guitar in hand, for a live performance in the studio.
