More Oranges Band and Spoon News

Just received two bits of great news from the Oranges Band:

1. Lead singer Roman Kuebler will play a solo set this coming Wednesday (March 14) at the Wonderland Ballroom in Columbia Heights (DC). Minimum two Rockists will be in attendance. I'll be the more enthusiastic of the two.

2. Spoon has recently announced a short series of tour dates, and the Oranges Band will open up for their Baltimore show at Sonar on April 21st.

I know we're blogging the hell out of these guys lately, but they're one of my personal favorite bands and a bunch of real nice folks. Plus, everyone loves Spoon. Speaking of which, my fellow Kentuckian over at You Ain't No Picasso has tracked down a few new live Spoon cuts from they're working on for an upcoming '07 release:

Spoon - "Target"
Spoon - "Rhythm and Soul"
The Oranges Band - "OK Apartment"

Have a good weekend. I'll be sobbing about the Kentucky Wildcats bowing out early of the tournament formerly known as the Wildcat Invitational.
