Event Notes

× Formed in 1980, a young band from Burlington, Ontario would soon make "Spoons" a different kind of household word. They would help define the sound of pop and New Wave in the 80's with hits like Nova Heart, Romantic Traffic, Old Emotions and Tell No Lies. Their album Arias & Symphonies would go on to be named one of the "20 Most Influential Albums Of The 80s" by The Chart magazine and their song "Nova Heart" would be included in Bob Mersereau's book "The Top 100 Canadian Singles of All Time"... Not bad for a bunch of kids from Burlington, Ontario. Gord Deppe and Sandy Horne, along with drummer Chris McNeill and keyboardist Scott Macdonald, continue to perform to this day, with no end in sight for the retro 80s phenomenon. Recently they celebrated their 40th anniversary with the Repeatable compilation album and Echoes, a collection of re-recordings of their songs by other 80s artists from around the globe. "Truly one of our proudest achievements ever," according to Gord Deppe. The retro 80s movement shows no sign of slowing down. Not one bit. And as far as Sandy, Gord and a lot of fans are concerned, that is a very good thing indeed. This past November we performed a sold-out tour across Canada with A Flock Of Seagulls, Men Without Hats and Honeymoon Suite as part of the 80s Club Tour.
