Spoon's Britt Daniel lists his top NYC live shows & margaritas of 2018
Spoon didn’t release an album this year, but they did tour with Grizzly Bear and when not doing that, Britt Daniel spent a lot of time here in NYC. And he saw a lot of shows while here, as evidenced by the year-end list he submitted to Matador Records for their big 2018 post they just put up on the Matablog. Britt submitted two lists, the first of which was “Top 18 NYC Shows, 2018” which included Nine Inch Nails at Radio City Music Hall, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever at Bowery Ballroom, Nick Cave at Barclays, and Morris Day & The Time at Sony Hall. There’s also Oh Sees, Alejandro Escovedo, Paul Simon, Bodega, Elton John and more. Check out his list, below.
His other list for the Matablog was Top 12 NY Margaritas, which included ones from La Esquina, Tacombi, Sweet & Vicious, Vida Verda and more. Check out that list below as well.
Spoon’s last album was 2017’s terrific Hot Thoughts.
