Me and Evan Dando

The Lemonheads, Varsity Drag, and The Legends at Bowery Ballroom, New York June 25, 2009Last night (aka the day the music died, aka RIP King of Pop) I did not honor the memory of Michael Jackson. Instead I honored my 90s nostalgia with my favorite alternahunk. Anyone who knows me know that the Lemonheads is a band I fell in love with at 13 and never got over.Lemonheads shows are usually full of dorks and normals and then some alt-power-couples like this one.
The stage was inexplicably adorned with tumbleweeds.
Set list!

 I think this bass player is kind of a babe. Also how adorable is this young guitar player.
At first we thought it was funny that the only person we recognized there was Greg the Misshape.
After the show I ran into Ben Cho who explained to me that the young guitar player is a 19 year old cool kid and that is why there was a contingent of 90s nostalgic cool kids there making me feel old.
like this girl who pretty much out Leti-ed Leti

and this kid with the Mudhoney T-shirt who told me he did not like the show. (the nerve!)

He opened with Down About It, played a bunch of songs with the band and then a bunch solo and then brought the band back out for encores.
