AWARDS & ACCOLADES

Band of the Month THE DELI Winner's of BMI's Road To Bonaroo "Hope you guys like Steely Dan," announced Neil O'Neill.

Spoon: The Power of Transference

In 1995, Spoon were often dubbed “the next Pixies.” The tag never quite fit, but the two did share a love for writing glorious pop songs and then shrouding them with walls of noise and mystery. Over 15 years, the Austin, Texas band have survived lineup shuffles and early record label neglect, finding their signature style with 2001’s Girls Can Tell and quietly building one of the strongest rock catalogs of the decade.
