You're right, they do sound somewhat like Spoon. They're one of the few bands where I can listen to their albums all the way through and not really want to skip tracks.

And hey, you know, I know it's not "cool" to love Nirvana the most out of the Seattle grunge scene (yes, okay, Mudhoney and Soundgarden are great, but Nirvana was always my favorite), but I *still* adore Kurt Cobain hardcore for that fact-- their live covers sound so much like their studio versions.
