The Lemonheads announced they will tour North America this spring in support of their upcoming covers album, Varshons 2, which comes out February 8th. The Replacements’ Tommy Stinson will join Evan Dando and company, providing guest support for all 33 dates. The tour begins May 2nd in Fairfield, Connecticut and ends June 15th in Boston. Tickets go on sale Friday, February 8th at 1 p.m. Eastern Time.
The Lemonheads teased the news, releasing one of the new album’s tracks: a marginally updated version of the psych-pop band GiveGoods’ song “Unfamiliar,” which Dando originally co-wrote with Tom Morgan in 2003.
Varshons 2 will be available February 8th in all formats, including as a limited-edition record that features a banana-scented scratch-and-sniff sleeve and colored vinyl.
