THE LEMONHEADS Return With a Cover Album and Tour

     MUSIC NEWS - Alt rockers, The Lemonheads have announced their headlining USA tour to support Varshons, the June 23, 2009 releasing covers album out on Brooklyn, NY based The End Records.  The band is also scheduled to headline Boston’s 16th Annual Radio 92.9 EarthFest on Saturday, May 30. The tour begins the following week on June 8 in San Diego, CA  and includes a two-night stand at Chicago’s Abbey Pub before wrapping up June 27 in Washington, DC.
Full itinerary is below.

VARSHONS was produced by Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes (and inpired by him) and features Evan Dando,  Vess Ruhtenburg (bass) and Devon Ashley (drums). The collection is filled with a wide range of material; from G.G. Allin to Texas troubadour Townes Van Zandt and garage rockers The Green Fuz. The Lemonheads make each track their own, with help from actress Liv Tyler, singing back up on Leonard Cohen’s “Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye,” and Kate Moss, who sings over the dance groove of Arling & Cameron’s “Dirty Robot,” which also features lead guitar by John Perry on loan from The Only Ones.
