Spoon played Portland, Maine’s State Theatre on Friday night, but the band continued to play well into the night when they dropped in on a band playing a Spoon covers set. Local psychedelic rock band Jeff Beam’s Loudspeaker Wallpaper booked an after-show party down the street from the Spoon gig at Portland’s Empire club, where Beam and Co. played 2001’s Girls Can Tell and 2002’s Kill the Moonlight in their entireties. Beam and his band made sure to plaster flyers near the Spoon show, hoping the band might spot one. Then, during “Small Stakes,” the opening number of their second set, Beam spotted frontman Britt Daniel standing among the crowd of about 50 people.
