Spoon Benders at The 13th Floor
Spoon Benders are an up-and-coming garage-psych punk band, hailing from Portland, Rag Tag Magazine calls them, "one of the most undaunted and progressive bands within city limits."
Their most recent releases, recorded by Cameron Spies (Blackwater Holylight, The Shivas, etc.), encompass the exceptional growth that the band has undergone in such a short time. While their sound has evolved greatly, their live show still holds its incredible energy and controlled chaos.
Inspired by bands such as The Pleasure Seekers and the Stooges, Spoon Benders are now consistently touring and directly supporting bands such as Meatbodies, Fuzz, Death Valley Girls and The Paranoyds. They have also repeatedly won over festivals such as Treefort Music Fest, Levitation, and Mosswood Meltdown.
