Spoon

On September 25, 2002, Spoon performed a memorable live rendition of 'Roller Coaster' at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, North Carolina. This recording came solidly after the release of their third studio album, 'Girls Can Tell,' which debuted earlier that same year. This album marked a significant turning point in the band's career, showcasing their evolving sound and knack for clever lyrics, while drawing them deeper into the indie rock scene. 'Girls Can Tell' received praise for its innovative mix of clean melodies and unique instrumentation, helping to establish Spoon as a leading force in the genre. Fun fact: during this period, Spoon was still gaining traction, and performances like this one contributed to their growing fan base, setting the stage for their later successes. It's a quintessential glimpse into their early sound and energetic live performances.
