According to music aggregator Metacritic, Spoon are the best band of the 2000s, which is nothing to sneeze at. Their excellent new record, "Transference," keeps the Austin four-piece's rock revival tone while channeling lyrical inspiration from frontman Britt Daniel's personal life.

Before playing two sold-out shows at First Avenue, Spoon stopped in The Current studios for a live performance.

Songs performed: "Nobody Get Me But You," "Someone Something," and "Written in Reverse."
