Spoon front man and friend of DCist Britt Daniel has left us another update regarding their upcoming performances in the area. Yes, that’s right, we said “performances.” Plural. As he hinted at in his last comment, the band is keeping their 10/23 date at the 9:30 Club with The Ponys following the 10/22 gig with The Shins at Merriweather. Here’s what Britt had to say:

Hi again. We did finally figure out a way to do a smaller show in DC: Spoon and the Ponys will be playing the 9:30 club on Tuesday Oct 23rd, the day after the Shins / Merriweather show. For those who bought tickets to either of the original 9:30 shows, admittance is guaranteed and is free. After that, admittance is free on a first-come basis to anyone who has a Merriweather ticket. The details get a bit thick, so I’ll just fw what I’ve been told. Thanks, Britt
