New York, NY  – Evan Dando, singer, songwriter, and guitarist of The Lemonheads, will be setting out on a solo tour in early 2010 that begins January 29 at Maxwell’s in Hoboken and currently wraps up March 6 back in New York at Mercury Lounge.  See all current dates below. Evan will be performing an intimate set featuring songs from his solo album and plenty of classic Lemonheads tunes along with several inspired covers, including some from his most recent covers album, Varshons (06/09, The End Records).  Produced by Butthole Surfers ringleader Gibby Haynes, Varshons was inspired by mix tapes that Gibby used to send to Evan. The collection is filled with strange bedfellows - 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.“Evan Dando has always had a magic touch with cover songs…the laconic alt-rocker nimbly transforms songs until they sound like they could be his own,” commented The Boston Globe. Spin Magazine stated, “Between ‘Mrs Robinson’ and ‘My Hero Zero,’ covers have accounted for some of the Lemonheads’ most memorable moments.”All Music added, “Varshons is easily the strangest Lemonheads record in maybe two decades and it's not so coincidentally one of their best, perched between the ragged, formless mess of their earliest records and Dando's enduring love for sweetly weathered country-rock.”Evan Dando on tour:Nov 20 – Santiago de Compostela, Spain @ CapitolNov 21 – Bilbao, Spain @ Kafe AntzokiaNov 23 – Paris, France @ Fleche D’orNov 24 – Antwerp, Belgium @ TrixNov 27 – Utrecht, Holland @ Tivoli -Le Guess Who FestivalNov 30 – Munster, Germany @ Gleiss 22Dec 01 – Cologne, Germany @ UndergroundDec 02 – Berlin, Germany @ MagnetDec 03 – Hamburg, Germany @ LogoDec 05 – Copenhagen, Denmark @ VegaDec 06 – Oslo, Norway @ John DeeDec 07 – Stockholm, Sweden @ DebaserDec 08 – Gothenburg, Sweden @ Sticky Fingers2010 US tour: Jan 29 – Hoboken, NJ @ Maxwell’sJan 30 – New York, NY @ Joe’s PubJan 31 – Bordentown, NJ @ The Record Collector storeFeb 03 – Allston, MA @ Great ScottFeb 04 – Northampton, MA @ Iron Horse Music HallFeb 05 – Philadelphia, PA @ M RoomFeb 06 – Arlington, VA @ IOTA Club & CaféFeb 09 – Charlotte, NC @ Tremont Music HallFeb 10 – Athens, GA @ 40 WattFeb 11 – Gainesville, FL @ Common GroundsFeb 12 – Tampa, FL @ CrowbarFeb 13 – Orlando, FL @ The BackboothFeb 16 – St. Louis, MO @ Old Rock HouseFeb 17 – Indianapolis, IN @ Radio RadioFeb 18 – Detroit, MI @ Majestic TheatreFeb 19 – Chicago, IL @ Double DoorFeb 20 – Minneapolis, MN @ 400 BarFeb 21 – Omaha, NE @ The Waiting RoomFeb 23 – Dallas, TX @ The Prophet BarFeb 24 – Austin, TX @ Emo’s Alternative Lounging (Outdoor)Feb 27 – Los Angeles, CA @ Hotel CaféFeb 28 – San Francisco, CA @ Café Du NordMar 03 – Seattle, WA @ Tractor TavernMar 06 – New York, NY @ Mercury Loungewww.evandando.co.ukwww.myspace.com/thelemonheadswww.thelemonheads.net
