"Reliving my High School days seeing the Lemonheads at Bowery Ballroom." -chrissanchez
The Lemonheads (Evan Dando w/ ex-Zero Boys Vess Ruhtenberg (bass) and Mark Cutsinger (drums) along with NYC-based guitarist, Xan Aird) headlined a show at NYC's Bowery Ballroom last night (6/25). The band is currently on tour in support of their new covers record that was produced by Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers (who are playing Riot Fest in Chicago this year).
Last night was also the night that the world found out about the the death of Michael Jackson. Evan gracefully dedicated the show to him (which apparently not everyone approved of).
Openers for the show were Boston's Varsity Drag, and The Legends. Varsity Drag is Lemonheads co-founder Ben Deily's new band, BUT Ben did not actually play with the Lemonheads (just with Varsity Drag). For the Legends, it was their fourth of five NYC shows they played while they were here in NYC. Their fifth happened at Pianos later that night. More pictures from the Bowery show, including some setlist shots, below...

Girls were awesome at Mercury Lounge last night... if you can make it to either Monster Island tonight or Cake Shop tomorrow, you really should. New drummer and guitarist, they've got the chops now.

Dando was probably in speedball heaven last night.

In The Legends? She's not Swedish, she's an American and is only guesting with them for their US dates, as far as I know.
