Spoon Add U.S Dates, Confirm 2 U.K Shows

11th June 2007 | by Gavin Riley

Spoon continue gearing up for the release of perhaps the most intriguing album title of the year 'Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga' by adding a few more dates for their worldwide tour.

Shows added to the tour (listed below) include New York's Roseland Ballroom (part of the CMJ Music & Film Marathon) and shows in Vancouver, L.A, Detroit, Minneapolis and Toronto.

These shows have a presale that you can access here through Merge Records.

In other news, we are fortunate here at Strange Glue to have been given a review copy of Ga x 5, but you're almost as lucky because you can now stream eight of the ten tracks through the Merge Records website, so go have a listen, it is shaping up to be one of the better records out this year.

The band are scheduled to play two U.K shows this year. First, they'll be a part of the Summer Sundae bash in Leicester which features the Magic Numbers and Echo & The Bunnymen and then a solo show at London's Cargo on 16th August.

'Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga' is released in the U.K on July 9th, and America has it the day after.
