Lemonheads Update

I received the following Lemonheads update via myspace bulletin this afternoon:

The Lemonheads have announced plans for a winter tour of the U.S. The tour, which begins November 30th in San Francisco and currently wraps December 22nd in Boston, will mark the first time that Evan Dando, drummer Bill Stevenson (Descendents, Black Flag) and bassist Karl Alvarez (Descendents), the trio that recorded the latest Lemonheads disc, will perform live as a group.Following the tour, the band plans to begin work on a follow-up to 2006’s The Lemonheads (9/26/06, Vagrant), which will conclude a series of more than 150 solo and full-band shows around the world that Evan Dando has played in support of The Lemonheads. Next up, Evan will be opening for The Jesus & Mary Chain on several of their October U.S. dates. Dando and Stevenson co-produced The Lemonheads, and Stevenson wrote or co-wrote three of its eleven songs; long-time Australian collaborator Tom Morgan added another two. There are also cameos galore: from bassist Josh Lattanzi, Garth Hudson (who plays keyboards on ‘Black Gown’ and ‘December’), and guitar work by Dinosaur JR’s J. Mascis.
