When I can smile, I'll let you know...

Few people can begin an encore by playing kickass acoustic versions of two songs, and then start a third, only to say "ah, fuck it" because his guitar is out of tune and leave the crowd wondering for 5 minutes if he's actually done, yet still have left the crowd ridiculously pleased.

The Lemonheads played probably the most perfect setlist I could have ever asked for. I know I've only been a hardcore fan for about a month and a half (I've loved the album It's a Shame About Ray for years, but it wasn't until I heard at the end of December that they were coming to town (or that they were even back together!) that I got into anything else), but I still will consider that one of the best sets I've ever seen a band put on.

The drummer had my energy, yet with much more talent (not that they're hard songs to play, but still...). The bassist looked like the dude from Local H (but wasn't). Evan Dando - well, he was Evan Dando. I think he said all of 2 words to the crowd, and spent all his energy rocking the fuck out. There wasn't a single song I didn't know and love.

Thank you, Lemonheads. You left me satisfied. (That's what she said)

lemonheads, kickass
