If you’ve frequented one of Melbourne’s finer live music venues over the last decade, there is a good chance that you would have witnessed Spoonful in full flight. You may have danced with them in a late night party frenzy, or recovered with them on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Their reputation as a live band means that punters always expect a highly charged performance and they always get it.



Spoonful's first album was a live recording: "Spoonful: Live at the Clifton Hill Hotel". Their latest album "Shake" was recorded at Eastern Bloc Studios with Jonathan Burnside.



"And then there's the surprise you were looking for. Melbourne's Spoonful are mining a fine retro lode of British blues/soul of the 60's. Throw in some Booker T or Georgie Fame organ, among the Cream overtones and a suitably epileptic version of The Stones' version of Buddy Holly's Not Fade Away, and this is the band to get bad-dancingly maggot to."
