 Lemonheads By Lemonheads - Arts & Living
So the Lemonheads may never have been the best band from Boston, but the legions of fans and critics that swear by the band's 1992 "It's A Shame About Ray" album are sure to welcome the name back with open arms.
So "The Lemonheads" isn't the huge proclamation that a reunion often implies, but as Dando's return to the electric-guitar inspired work of the past, it works.
Even if the spotlight isn't shining so bright, The Lemonheads are back, kind of, and their new album might not be that great, but it's good enough.

When the Lemonheads play Avalon tomorrow night, it will be less a reunion of a band than a revival of a brand.
"I figured the Lemonheads was [frontman] Evan [Dando] and anyone who's worth their salt that he has surrounded himself with in order to make a good record," says Bill Stevenson, drummer on the first new Lemonheads album in 10 years.
Although it's not strictly a reunion, Dando is aware that the Lemonheads reappearance follows on the heels of other high-profile returns by Massachusetts-spawned bands that formed around the same time, including the Pixies, Mission of Burma, and Dinosaur Jr.

 The Lemonheads - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lemonheads were formed by Evan Dando and Ben Deily, in high school, at the Commonwealth School in Boston, Mass., circa 1986.
At this stage they played punk rock, and were briefly known as the Whelps, until a name change in 1987 led to the birth of the Lemonheads, named for a candy which Dando noted was sweet on the inside, and sour on the outside, possibly a metaphor for the band's sound.
While the Lemonheads keep moving forward, co-founder Ben Deily went to Harvard University and received a degree and is currently in the power pop/punk band Varsity Drag.

Maybe a little better.” Evan Dando is getting a bit conspiratorial about the latest incarnation of the legendary pop/punk outfit he formed a full two decades ago, now about to unleash their eighth album on an unsuspecting and defenseless world.
In 1990 Atlantic Records took notice of the massively expanding LEMONHEADS fanbase in Europe (where they toured in 1989) and America by signing the band and releasing their well-received (in Cambridge, Massachusetts) fourth LP, Lovey.
Mainstream media hype of THE LEMONHEADS shifted into high gear, with lots of wild speculation as to the exact nature of the relationship between Dando and long-time friend Juliana Hatfield (who played bass and sang on Ray).

 marathonpacks: the dipping sauce for the Incredible Pop Breadstick: The Lemonheads "Black Gown"
In the interior of the Lemonheads' first record since 1996, in the space behind the clear plastic CD-holder thing, is a fl-and-white picture of a girl, in naught but her underthings, lying on a bed somewhere.
The picture is apparently taken by her, too, so when you remove the CD for the first time, you just see a torso and legs underneath it, as if the CD was her head or something.
Over a decade hence, there are many ways to approach the Lemonheads, but the way I do is as the archetype of alternative nostalgia.

The first time I saw Evan Dando perform in London in 1993, it was to a packed house where, if you weren't into moshing, you kept the hell out of the way of stage-front.
It was at the end of the Lemonhead's most successful run.
The Roseland crowd called The Lemonheads back for an encore and the band delivered a post-set sampling of songs and random jam sessions, including a solo performance by Dando of "Different Drum," written by the Monkee's Mike Nesmith.

 The Lemonheads CD
By calling his latest offering THE LEMONHEADS and claiming that "it sounds like the Lemonheads," Evan Dando seems to be responding to the criticisms that his last efforts have been uneven at best.
Consistency is the aim here, and he achieves it with a collection that recalls the Lemonheads heyday: grunge-pop chord progressions, bursts of Dinosaur Jr.-lite guitar solos, and hooky melodies all delivered in Dando's lazy bedroom croon.
Evan was a lot older and some of the recent albums like his peers were devoid of the piss & vinegar that made them so great to begin with.

 Lemonheads : The Lemonheads : Review : Rolling Stone
For the Lemonheads' first album in ten years, singer Evan Dando has recruited a crack team of collaborators, including Dinosaur Jr's J Mascis and one of the most formidable rhythm sections in the history of punk rock: Descendents drummer Bill Stevenson and bassist Karl Alvarez.
At its best, The Lemonheads sounds exactly how you want the Lemonheads to sound -- "Rule of Three," "Let's Just Laugh" and "No Backbone" apply that same gnarled mix of country, alt-rock and punk Dando has used ever since It's a Shame About Ray and Come On Feel the Lemonheads.
Okay, I expect everyone to grow up, but if you are a rock star, and especially a Lemonhead, don't turn into a sour prune.

But there have been no fellow Lemonheads for quite some time, so the prospect of a rockier arrangement of all those melodic grunge favourites may have been a nostalgic spur for the fans.
The new eponymous Lemonheads album features contributions from Garth Hudson of the band and Dando's grunge contemporary J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr and utilises the services of ex-Descendents drummer Bill Stevenson and bassist Karl Alvarez.
But the bad news for the rather anonymous touring Lemonheads - bassist Josh Lattanzi and drummer John Kent - is that the most engaging portion of this comeback set has nothing to do with them.

The Lemonheads is melodic and supremely catchy, perfectly recapturing that which very nearly made the band superstars back in the 1990s, before Evan Dando very nearly self-destructed.
The Lemonheads were the soundtrack to many a night in my teenage years, and I feel Evan Dando is criminally underrated for such a bright talent.
His new Lemonhead cohorts Bill Stevenson and Karl Alvarez are quite frankly awesome, and give Dando the power he really needs to compliment his voice and his fine guitar work.

 The Lemonheads: The Lemonheads: Pitchfork Record Review
Start in the late 1980s, when Massachusetts was still the mightiest indie rock state in the union and Dando was just one member of bread-and-butter Boston punk act the Lemonheads-- and then fast-forward to the turn of the 90s, when he took control of the band and began to reshape it in his own image.
Dando was a folkie and a country fan, and he'd fallen in love with the genial jangle of Australian indie; his punk roots receded and pop became the central focus.
And while this is most certainly not the old loud punk-- not for a second-- there's a half-kernal of truth in there somewhere: After all that time as the acoustic guitar-toting hippie, Dando's clearly having a blast playing rock again, solos and breakdowns and all.

 NPR Music: The Lemonheads: Warm, Colorful Power-Pop
The Lemonheads came to prominence in the early '90s with It's a Shame About Ray, which included the hit title track as well as a rousing cover of Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs.
Robinson." After a string of follow-ups that ranged from pop to country to rock, Dando folded the band and took a long hiatus, but he re-emerged in 2003 with a solo album, Baby I'm Bored.
His new incarnation of The Lemonheads, which includes the rhythm section from California punk band The Descendents, picks up where he left off, trafficking in the sly, winsome pop that made Dando omnipresent 15 years ago.

It is this prodigious pool of talent, with its direct and indirect links to The Lemonheads' glory days, that lends this album a sense of legitimacy and purpose that such "comeback" albums are prone to sorely lack.
But fans of The Lemonheads tune in after all these years to be entertained, not to be preached to.
The Lemonheads will never make a capital G-Great album, but as long as they are as good as they tend to be, a new one will always be welcome.
