SUMMARY:The Lemonheads
LOCATION:Kulturhaus Caserne
DESCRIPTION:The Lemonheads returned in 2025 with Love Chant (out via Fire R
 ecords\, October 24th)\, their first studio album in nearly two decades - 
 a bold\, melodic reaffirmation of Evan Dando’s singular songwriting voic
 e. Written across continents and recorded primarily in São Paulo\, Brazil
 \, where Dando now resides\, Love Chant finds the frontman reconnecting wi
 th longtime collaborators while introducing new creative voices. It’s a 
 record of fresh starts and familiar sounds - emotionally raw\, melodically
  rich\, and unmistakably Lemonheads.\n\nThe new album features contributio
 ns from J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr)\, Juliana Hatfield\, Tom Morgan\, Bryce Gog
 gin\, Erin Rae\, and Nick Saloman of The Bevis Frond. It’s a diverse but
  coherent work - from the full-throttle hooks of “Deep End” to the spe
 ctral softness of “The Key Of Victory\,” and the Modern Lovers-like dr
 ive of the title track. Co-released alongside Dando’s forthcoming memoir
  Rumours Of My Demise (via Faber\, November 6th)\, Love Chant marks both a
  return and a reckoning - the sound of an artist who’s lived\, lost\, an
 d located the thread once again.\n\nFormed in Boston in 1986\, The Lemonhe
 ads have long thrived on that intersection between chaos and charm. With a
  revolving cast built around Dando’s melodic instincts and ragged charis
 ma\, their early punk roots were forged across three scrappy albums on loc
 al label Taang! before signing to Atlantic Records and releasing 1990’s 
 Lovey. It was on tour for that record in Australia where Dando connected w
 ith Tom Morgan and future bandmate Nic Dalton - a meeting that reshaped th
 e band’s songwriting and sound.\n\nTheir commercial breakthrough came wi
 th 1992’s It’s A Shame About Ray and 1993’s Come On Feel The Lemonhe
 ads\, both records that married punk energy with melodic pop\, and establi
 shed Dando as one of alternative rock’s most compelling figures. Nationa
 l TV appearances followed\, and so did the tabloid glare - by the late ’
 90s\, the music sometimes took a backseat to Dando’s unpredictable\, cha
 otic public persona. He disbanded The Lemonheads in 1997 following a turbu
 lent performance at Reading Festival.\n\nIn 2003\, he released his acclaim
 ed solo album Baby I’m Bored - quieter and more introspective\, it hinte
 d at a new phase. But it wasn’t long before The Lemonheads were reborn. 
 In 2006\, a self-titled album marked a head-on collision of wordy ’70s p
 unk and cosmic country\, followed by Varshons (2009) and Varshons 2 (2019)
 \, two mixtape-like collections of cover versions that spanned Townes Van 
 Zandt to GG Allin\, Leonard Cohen to The Bevis Frond - always with the sam
 e emotional clarity and melodic magnetism that defines Dando’s output.\n
 \nOver the years\, The Lemonheads’ shape has shifted - Descendents\, Din
 osaur Jr\, Blake Babies and members of Fuzzy have all passed through the r
 anks - but at its core has always been Dando’s songwriting: wry\, vulner
 able\, catchy\, and true. With Love Chant\, that core burns brightly once 
 more.\n\nRecent years have only deepened the band’s influence. Artists l
 ike Courtney Barnett\, Waxahatchee\, Phoebe Bridgers and MJ Lenderman cite
  The Lemonheads as touchstones\, covering their songs and praising their e
 motional candor and melodic economy.\n\nAs Record Collector noted\, “The
  Lemonheads have always been recognised as purveyors of grade-A pop punk.
 ” Or\, in Rolling Stone’s words: “Few bands have been able to walk t
 he line between the angst of grunge and the warmth of folk quite as elegan
 tly as The Lemonheads.”\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/event/eom22w-the-lem
