The Lemonheads return in 2025 with their first studio album in nearly two decades, 'Love Chant,' a bold, melodic reaffirmation of Evan Dando's singular songwriting voice. Recorded primarily in São Paulo, Brazil, the new album features contributions from J Mascis, Juliana Hatfield, and more. It's a diverse but coherent work, from the full-throttle hooks of 'Deep End' to the spectral softness of 'The Key Of Victory.'
Why We Like It
- The Lemonheads have long thrived on the intersection between chaos and charm, with a revolving cast built around Dando's melodic instincts and ragged charisma.
- Their commercial breakthrough in the early 90s with 'It's A Shame About Ray' and 'Come On Feel The Lemonheads' established Dando as one of alternative rock's most compelling figures.
- Recent years have only deepened the band's influence, with artists like Courtney Barnett and Phoebe Bridgers citing The Lemonheads as touchstones.
Who Should Attend
Fans of The Lemonheads and Evan Dando's singular songwriting will enjoy this event, as well as those interested in the intersection of punk energy and melodic pop.
