Artist Biography
Spoon is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas with a wide underground following. The band was formed in 1994 by lead singer/guitarist Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno.
Members *Britt Daniel (vocals, guitar)*Jim Eno (drums)*Rob Pope (bass, backing vocals)*Eric Harvey (keyboard, guitar, percussion, backing vocals)Former Members*Joshua Zarbo (bass, backing vocals)
They signed with Elektra Records in 1998, but the contract was dropped soon after the band released A Series of Sneaks. In response to being dropped, Spoon released a two-song EP titled The Agony of Laffitte, referring to Elektra A&R man Ron Laffitte, and were eventually signed to Merge Records.
Spoon has been met with widespread critical acclaim. Girls Can Tell, released in 2001, sold more copies than both their previous releases combined. Kill the Moonlight accomplished the same feat a year later. Their latest album, Gimme Fiction, was released on May 10, 2005 on Merge Records.
Spoon wrote and performed much of the soundtrack to the movie, Stranger Than Fiction.
Recently they announced the title of their sixth studio album: Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. It will be released the 10th of July.
