Spoon To Perform a FREE Waterloo In-Store (1/25)

Come next week Spoon will release their seventh album Transference. Having already heard a handful of songs ("Got Nuffin", "Is Love Forever", "The Mystery Zone", and "Written In Reverse") from the new album we can't wait to hear it in its entirety. Even better than that though, if you'd like to catch the band performing those songs live, you'll get your chance in a couple of weeks. That's right, circle your calendar for Monday, January 25th at 4pm, as they'll be headed to Waterloo Records for a FREE In-store. Trust us, you'll definitely need to get there early that day.

Update: They will also be kicking off SXSW this year with a performance at Stubbs on March 17th as a part of the NPR showcase. You can also stream the album right now on the NPR site. [Stream "Transference"]
