[DID NOT ATTEND: July 23, 2024] Spoon Benders / Color Charge / Disaster Artist / [was] The Lunar Year
Spoon Benders opened for The Psychedelic Porn Crumpets on a night I couldn’t go (still sad about that one).
If they open for PPC, they must be worth checking out so I had considered going to this show. But I had a couple of other shows this week so this one was pushed aside.
They are a progressive psych-rock powerhouse that has been relentlessly crisscrossing the United States, leaving a trail of newly acquired fans in their wake. Spoon Benders have become synonymous with an electrifying stage presence that can only be described as loud, controlled chaos.
When I first listened to some of their songs I wasn’t that excited, but I feel like I must not have been paying attention because their sound is very cool with lots of echoing guitars and a much-needed female voice on lead and backing vocals.
I would like to see them some day though. (more…)
