bradm Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I'm going to pass on it. It seems to be the only thing happening this weekend, but I'm not a big fan of Lemonheads / Evan Dando*, and it's a Zaphod's show (not my favourite venue). I think I'll stay home (all weekend, unless I hear of something), chill out, and rest up.Aloha,Brad* It's not that I dislike them/him, it's just that I've never listened to them, and so don't know that I like their/his music.

Hartamophone Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 *bump*Am I gonna see anyone else there tonight?I think I might check this out. I was unsure, but after reading in the XPress article that he'll be playing some vintage Lemonheads, I'm thinkin' it'll be a good night.A buddy of mine put together a compilation of some of his solo acoustic stuff, and it's great - including a cover of Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know?", although I'm betting we won't be hearing that one.

meggo Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 i'd love to hear some lemonheads! but i hafta get up early for a tournament tomorrow [coaching, not playing - and i use the term 'coaching' quite loosely]. i hope they play rudderless for you!

ollie Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hey c'mon it's Zaphods, the show will be over by 11! I'm only peripherally familiar with Dando's music so I downloaded a bunch of stuff last night. Surprised I knew more than I thought. I totally forgot about Style, great song!

Hartamophone Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 FYI for anyone who's still around and thinking of going:I just called Zaphod's, and they told me that Evan Dando is going on at ten and playing a one-hour set. (Funnily enough, this now has me leaning more towards going, as I can't have a late one tonight).Also, I just checked out the setlist from Montreal, and it seems to be quite the "Greatest Hits" type of package. Here are the songs he played, by album (lifted off an Evan Dando board I found):Lick album: Come Back DA Lovey album: Half the time Ride with me Stove It's a Shame album: Confetti It's a shame... Rudderless My drug buddy Turnpike down Alison's starting to happen Hannah & Gabi Frank Mills Come On Feel...: Into your arms Down about it Being around Car Button Cloth album: Outdoor type Hospital Baby I'm bored album: My Idea The same things you thought... All my life Why do you do this to yourself He also did Frying Pan, 2 new songs and finished with a Ben Lee song (don't know the title though). ----------Looks like it'll be a good show - I'm now looking forward.Peace,Hart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Very good show last night at Zaphods! Evan Dando was in fine form belting out his tunes accompanied by himself on a beaten up acoustic guitar that sounded a lot better than it looked. Far from the trainwreck I half-expected, Dando's set asserted his continued relevance as a performer and it's a shame that he only had an hour to play.There was some concern when Evan was setting up with assistance from opener John Kastner. Evan looked completely lost and it looked like Kastner was helping someone with special needs as he strapped Dando's guitar on him. But after a quick joke about alcoholics anonymous Dando came alive and performed with a surprising amount of confidence.The crowd was pretty thick up front and gave Dando a lot of support. Aside from the fact that shows finish at 11 PM, despite the momentum a show such as this one had, I forgot how much I enjoyed seeing a show at Zaphods. Ah... good times at the Beeb!John Kastner, formerly of the Doughboys, played a decent opening set on electric guitar but it would have sounded better with a band. I only recognized "Shine".

d_rawk Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Thanks for the review. If I had realized how early the show was (why do I always foget that Zaphods=early?) I would have tried to wind my way down there.Any other skanks to be seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
