Spoon / The Antlers @ The Wick 6/17/2015
“This is a good room for that one,” Britt Daniel remarked after Spoon played “Outlier” at The Wick on Wednesday night (6/17). The cavernous former brewery favors bass and danceable songs like that are definitely a good fit for the space, but Spoon (and The Wick) sounded really good last night overall. It’s also nice when a band 20 years into their career are still making records people want to hear played live, with last year’s They Want My Soul being well represented with six songs, plus favorites from most of their other records (including rare inclusion “Metal Detektor” from A Series of Sneaks). Printed setlist is below. This was the second of two Brooklyn shows for the band, having played the much bigger Kings Theater the night before (anybody go to that?). With some dramatic lighting working well with the industrial vibe, it made for a fun evening.
Both Brooklyn shows were opened by tourmates The Antlers whose expansive sound also worked well at The Wick. The venue, by the way, is coming along, with bathrooms finally open so you don’t have to go over to The Well anymore. Unless you want a (much) better beer selection — when I asked what the two choices on draft at The Wick were, the bartender said “light or dark.” Okay then! A/C seemed to be working too, but it was also a cool night.
