Tight denim, prized thrift shop finds, and purposefully mussed-up hairdos adorned the high school girls and forty-something hipsters alike at last weekend’s Spoon concert at the Avalon in Boston. Known best for their spare sound and danceable backbeats, the foursome from Texas delivered on both counts, mixing most of the songs on their recent “Gimme Fiction” LP, with at least one song from each of their...
