Jam with Spoon

You know a Spoon song the minute you hear it out in nature - whether over the radio, on a TV show or in one of the band's numerous movie soundtrack appearances.

Recognizable? Yes. Predictable? Not at all. Catch them when they headline the 93XRT Goose Island Holiday Jam this weekend with New Jersey rock band Real Estate. The Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State St., Chicago. Tickets start at $74. (888) 609-7599 or wxrt.radio.com. 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 10
