Every Spoon show in Austin, TX, has nostalgia attached to it.

Early gigs at the now-closed Sound Exchange on the University of Texas campus, shows at Emo's in the late 1990s, and even more recent performances at dives like the Scoot Inn are markers in any Austinite's personal history. Even now, Spoon's influence looms large over the capital city's scene: There's not another local band that can fill the amphitheater at Stubb's three nights in a row, especially in 102 degree heat.
