Evan Dando signing CDs and more for...YOU?!
Have you gotten your copy of The Lemonheads' new album Varshons, yet? Whether the answer is yes or no, read on, because we're hopefully about to rock your world...

On the band's recent stop through New York City, Evan Dando took the time to sign Varshons CDs and posters as well as an Epiphone guitar! "What shall we do with all of this great stuff?" we asked ourselves...then we realized the answer was simple: give it to all of you to show you our appreciation for your support of the band and record!

From now until September 30th, we will be running the "Varshons Order Contest" and all you have to do to enter is pick up a copy of the record. Yup, that's it.

Check out the details/rules HERE, sit back, and cross your fingers...

Thank you all for your support and good luck!

P.S. To sweeten the deal, we've put the album onsale at Amazon and Bandcamp for just FIVE BUCKS!

You can get it HERE on Amazon (North America) or HERE on Bandcamp.

The following UK dates have been confirmed for September:

10th - ABC, Glasgow
11th - Academy, Dublin
12th - Speakeasy/Mandela Hall, Belfast
13th - Academy 2, Manchester
15th - Irish Centre, Birmingham
16th - Leicester Square Theatre, London (Headliners Festival)
18th - White Air Festival, Brighton
19th - HMV Forum, London

In preparation for the "Varshons" Order Contest we'll be announcing later today, we've put the album onsale at Amazon and Bandcamp for just FIVE BUCKS!

You can get it HERE on Amazon (North America) or HERE on Bandcamp.

For those of you who don't know, AmazonMP3 sells high quality DRM-free MP3s (playable on iPods, the Zune, etc) and Bandcamp sells damn near any quality/format you could want (DRM-free, of course)...Bandcamp even lets you listen to the whole thing (streaming) before you buy it, if you want!

Now run and grab "Varshons" while it's on sale, save your receipts, listen to it a few times over, and stay tuned (later today) for details on how you can win signed Lemonheads' CDs, posters, vinyl, t-shirts, or even an Epiphone guitar (signed by Evan)!

The Lemonheads will be doing a special acoustic set and signing TODAY (June 30th) at Newbury Comics (Newbury Street in Boston, MA) at 6PM!

If you need directions or additional info, click HERE for GoogleMaps or HERE for the info straight from Newbury Comics themselves.

Varshons was produced by Haynes and features Dando along with Vess Ruhtenburg (bass) and Devon Ashley (drums). 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).

Enjoy and thanks for listening...tell your friends!

Varshons is out today in the UK & Europe.

Pick up your copy of the CD online or in record stores, or download from iTunes to receive an exclusive bonus track.
