Spoon coated the Clash’s 1979 music “Clampdown” throughout Buffalo Tree Festival in Dallas on Sunday. The pageant functioned each as a live performance and political rally to drum up help for the Democratic celebration and enhance voter registration, and on the high of the invoice was Texas Senate hopeful Beto O’Rourke, who gave a speech that night. Spoon’s “Clampdown” cowl was little question a nod to O’Rourke, who in September quoted the song throughout his debate with Ted Cruz.
O’Rourke, who was as soon as in a punk band with At the Drive-In and the Mars Volta’s Cedric Bixler-Zavala, has been displaying off his musical prowess all through his candidacy; in July he played guitar alongside Willie Nelson, and in August he shared an old song from his former band with Bixler-Zavala.
Spoon’s final album was 2017’s Hot Thoughts. Read “Spoon’s Britt Daniel on the Music That Made Him an Indie-Rock Lifer.”
