Spoon

In October 2008, Spoon was riding high after the release of their album 'Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga,' which had dropped just a year earlier and had gained considerable acclaim. The album showcased their signature blend of indie rock and pop, with tracks like 'The Underdog' and, of course, 'Small Stakes.' This live performance at The Parish in Austin captures the raw energy that Spoon is known for, especially during a politically charged event like the TX Democrats show. It's worth noting that by this time, the band had already evolved significantly from their earlier works, embracing a more polished sound while maintaining their quirky charm. Their ability to resonate with the audience reflects not just their musical prowess but also their connection to the social currents of the time.
