For the few Lemonheads fans on here:
Lemonheads leader Evan Dando has recast the band and inked a deal with Vagrant Records to release a new album in late September.
The group are now rounded out by Descendents drummer Bill Stevenson and bassist Karl Alvarez. The trio have been working on the first Lemonheads album since 1996's Car Button Cloth in Stevenson's Colorado home studio.
The Lemonheads debuted in 1987 with the release of Hate Your Friends, and achieved their greatest success with 1992's It's A Shame About Ray and 1993's Come On Feel The Lemonheads albums before their sales dropped dramatically for Car Button Cloth. After falling off the music map due to substance abuse troubles, Dando released a live album in 2001 and his first solo studio effort, Baby I'm Bored, in 2003.
Stevenson was one of the founding members of the Descendents in 1979. The punk-pop band split up and reformed a couple of times, and Alvarez (who also played with Stevenson in All) joined the group when they got back together in 1996. The Descendents released a number of records on SST in the '80s, put out Everything Sucks through Epitaph in 1996, and 2004's Cool To Be You was issued through Fat Wreck.
The Lemonheads have been playing occasional shows in the past year, but are expected to tour extensively in support of the still untitled new album.

One of the most beloved bands of to emerge from the Boston post-punk scene of the late 80's, The Lemonheads released three albums on Taang! before signing to Atlantic Records. They released their breakthrough album, It's A Shame About Ray in 1992 and it went on to sell over a million copies worldwide. "Into Your Arms," a track from their 1993 disc, Come On Feel The Lemonheads was their first single to hit the Billboard charts. After the release of Car Button Cloth in 1996 the band toured extensively - playing festivals worldwide, from Europe and the UK to South America. Dando took a break from the Lemonheads in the late 90's to concentrate on his solo recording. He released Baby I'm Bored, in 2003.

hello.my name is luca.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
I'm really looking forward to this album, new Lemonheads YAY!:) with J Mascis on selected tracks double YAY!:):)
It's a Shame About Ray
Come on Feel the Lemonheads
Car Button Cloth
- are some of my favorite albums. And J Mascis is in on this. Am I dreaming? I am marking my calender for the release. I would call it my most anticipated in the last three years with the exception of PJ of course. Please come to Texas Evan! I'll drive to flipping El Paso if I have to, just get here!
Once again, I think there are more UK fans for Evan Dando than American. Maybe I'll fly there to see him! My sister in law lives in Glasgow.
I think he has a fantastic writing style and the way he delivers the songs kicks serious arse, and as I said the covers he pulls out are just brilliant, I have him covering Whitney Houston somewhere.:)
How Will I Know?
Not one of my favorite covers but fun. Evan is fond of the covers. Never heard Fade to Black though. Luka and Mrs. Robinson are tops.
So i keep my fingers crossed if they are coming to the netherlands
When all else fails, read the instruction
Again, Evan is one of those completely underrated songwriters/musicians.
Imo, he truly writes some of the best lyrics
Keeping my fingers crossed he makes it out here to the west coast.
Saw Lemonheads play back around '93 when they opened for Hole - one of the most hysterical shows I've seen. Courtney was wasted and kept coming onstage to sing with him. After the first two times he was clearly irritated. :rolleyes: Great performers though - I think he sounds best in solo-acoustic format, but I'm excited to see Mascis along with him now.
