I'm sure they'll play a few more dates, NY, Philly, maybe Boston? Probably similar to Hammill's solo dates around Nearfest last year. You can check Hammill's Sofa Sound website for a more formal update - nothing's up there yet. I just stumbled on the State Theater date on the venue's web page.

are the lemonheads only allowed to play black smack?
has the heroin trend just hit DC? i thought that was already done in nyc…
Like how many Shame About Ray songs do the Lemonheads play in this day and age? Yes, I know, it's an un-cool question to ask.
Saw them last year in Chicago and it was a pretty well-rounded set, mostly focusing on the last 4 albums or so.  All in all it was actually a pretty fucking fun show.  I'd go again in a heartbeat.  Can't recall the exact ratio, but it was solid on Ray songs.

Lemonheads cover G.G. Allin on their new covers LP AND both Kate Moss + Liv Tyler guest!  Guess Evan's getting some nice trim!

The Lemonheads are not Audi 5000 just yet. On June 23, The End Records will release the alt-rock snugglebears' all-covers album Varshons, which will feature Lemonheaded-up takes on tracks from Leonard Cohen, Wire, and (seriously) G.G. Allin. Lead Butthole Surfer Gibby Haynes produces. And just in case this paragraph wasn't already head-spinningly weird enough, Liv Tyler and Kate Moss show up to lend guest vocals. Yes, really.
