Spoon today released a new video for their smoking-hot track Hot Thoughts, which video features grainy vignettes from their recent SXSW gigs. Check it out below.

Spoon also announced dates for a co-headlining tour with the similarly-captivating Shins in the fall. Now that’s a dream double-bill to get on your radar screens. So far, the bands have announced they will play The Greek Theater in Berkeley on September 30th, San Diego’s Cal Coast Credit Union on October 1st, Phoenix’s Comerica Theater on October 3rd, and Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater on October 5th. Here’s hoping for the addition of a Santa Barbara Bowl date.

Both bands have released superb new albums. Spoon will head out on its tour on April 18th in Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City, and The Shins will head out on April 20th in Raleigh, North Carolina.

After the Hot Thoughts video below, check out both bands’ tour dates.
