“With a string of smash hits – Nova Heart, Tell No Lies, Old Emotions, Romantic Traffic – the Spoons redefined the musical landscape and captured the hearts of fans everywhere. The Spoons toured extensively, playing sold-out shows with an array of fellow icons including Talking Heads, Police, Culture Club, Simple Minds and many more, during a decades-long journey-adventure that continues to this day. The Spoons gold album Arias & Symphonies was named one of the 20 Most Influential Albums of The ‘80s by The Chart Magazine and Nova Heart was named one of The Top 100 Canadian Singles. SpoonFed is the compelling life story of Spoons frontman Gord Deppe, whose creative vision defined one of the most influential, original bands of the ‘80s and beyond.” From the Foreword by Michael B Davie, President/CEO, Rockport Records International Corp.

About the Author: SpoonFed As singer, guitar player and songwriter for the Canadian new wave band the Spoons, Gord Deppe has been in the music business for over thirty years. Born in Vancouver, B.C., his family moved back and forth between Canada and Germany several times before finally settling in Burlington, Ontario. There, in 1980, fresh out of high school, Gord, Sandy Horne, Rob Preuss and Derrick Ross would go on to make Spoons a different kind of household word. The young band would also catch the wave of a brand new video-driven phenomenon that was about to hit TV screens nationwide. The video for their hit Nova Heart would be aired on the very first broadcast of MuchMusic. Romantic Traffic, shot in the subways of Toronto, remains as one of the most iconic Canadian music videos of all time.
