Spoon Kick Off Summer Tour

The original indie rockers to put Austin on the map, Spoon, are ready to hit the pavement with tracks in tow from their upcoming fifth studio album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. The album has been previewed at a few select live shows through the spring and at festivals such as South by Southwest.

As an added bonus to fans, the band is offering a special pre-order of the album through their website. When you pre-order the album, you'll receive a limited edition bonus EP with 22 minutes of Spoon tracks entitled Get Nice! In fact, only two of these tracks have been previously released.
