Spoon to Play Secret Show in LA on July 16
Amoeba Music announced this week that the first 150 people to purchase Spoon's new release, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, on July 10 will receive admission to a "secret show" by the band on July 16. Though it's hard to imagine the show being much of a secret after the attention Amoeba Hollywood has received since last week's free Paul McCartney show, it continues to cement their reputation as one of the coolest record stores ever.
According to the Amoeba Music website:
Spoon will be playing a secret show in Los Angeles on July 16th. On July 10th at Amoeba Music in Hollywood, the first 150 people who
purchase Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (CD or LP) will receive a coupon from Merge
Records that will admit you to this very special (and secret) 21 and over
show!
One ticket per CD purchased. The coupon will explain how to register
with them to attend the show. Quantities are limited to the first 150
CDs/LPs purchased -- while they last!
Amoeba is providing an additional bonus to those who purchase the new album:
Be the first to buy the new album at Amoeba Music and receive a limited edition 7". A-side is "The Underdog (demo version)"
B-side is "It Took a Rumor to Make Me Wonder, Now I'm Convinced I'm Going Under"
One 7" per person with purchase of Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga -- while they last!
Just as a random side note, "The Underdog" was produced by modern-day music legend (and Largo regular) Jon Brion. Take a listen on Spoon's
