Spoon, Sneaks — March 9, 2018 at Buckhead Theatre
March 9, 2018
Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta
Spoon - This show was originally supposed to take place at the masquerade but moved to the Buckhead Theatre. Due to construction delays at The Masquerade, Friday's Sold Out show with SPOON has been moved to THE BUCKHEAD THEATRE. All tickets will be honored and all times will remain the same. Please call the Box Office at 404.577.8178 with any questions. See you there! Well we debated if this were really true. We have yet to go to any new masquerade shows since they moved to the old Atlanta Underground. It amazes us that we can still see Spoon small to medium size venues. Our first show was in 1995 at SXSW opener of 4 band showcase we went to see one night. The big difference bout this show was the the attempt at a non stop flow of going from one song to the next in 2-4 songs at a time. The opener “Do I Have To Talk You Into It” began with 5 minute synth intro before anyone make out what it was and boom! Hit the lights! Britt - did have some fun chatty moments with the crowd. “I’m glad you made it. I was worried that wouldn’t find us and go to the masquerade. I hear this place is better. Is that right?” :) Beast & Dragon was advised as the OG title “Fuck & Fight every night” Britt said Jim told him that. “Anything You Want” was given some small changes in arrangement which was nice. Big Surprise for me was how incredible “I Ain’t The One” a very mellow slow burner that seemed have a bigger dramatic effect live. . The set closed with a stretched out version of “My Mathematical Mind” ... For the encore Britt came out and did a solo rendition of “I Summon You” which I will never ever tire of hearing. Band came out and finished with “Pink Up”, “Hot Thoughts” and the monster rocker “Rent I Pay” They could have went for another hour and still had great tunes to spare. Here’s to hoping it is sooner rather than later for the next Spoon show. Sneaks - aka Eva Moolchan. Think ESG with just drum machine and bass. She had a dj with her. This 30 minute set consisted of songs from both her albums and a few new ones. this music is punk & hip hop at the same time. It takes a special vibe to make you want to rock out and dance at the same time. If she winds up conquering the world I would not be surprised. Set included; Hair Slick Back, PBNJ, Look like that…
