Formed in Boston in 1986, The Lemonheads continue to rotate around the inimitable Evan; eclectic music fan, writer of infectious power pop, and renowned trouble maker.
Throughout The Lemonheads’ career, Evan Dando’s esoteric pick of songs to cover has dusted off some real gems, the ultimate singalong playlist which manifested itself on a couple of albums, most recently ‘Varshons II’ (2018), “a love letter to the breadth and talent of rock music, but also to Dando’s sizeable melodic gifts.” Louder Than War
Evan Dando and The Lemonheads’ arcade adventure continues with ‘Love Chant’ set for release later this year, with European shows set for the autumn. Sparring with guest guitarists J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr and The Bevis Frond’s Nick Saloman, Evan the songwriter remains gloriously astute. The voice is lower and more brooding but the mood is pin prick sharp and the social commentary as barbed as ever.
