The Lemonheads @ Cambridge Junction, Oct 2006


At this gig, they played a lot of semi old stuff - Ride with me, Bit part, Drug buddy, Rudderless, It's a shame about Ray, Into your arms, The great big no, Alison's starting to happen. That's all I can remember off the top of my head. The new stuff seemed to sit really nicely in amongst it all and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I guess it's good in that they're still doing what they do best or, is that bad because they haven't moved on........ Hmmm, I'll sit on the fence with that. It was all very frantic with barely any gap in-between songs and no banter. One hit after another - bang bang bang. That may have been because the set list ran to 2 sheets of A4 mind and they had to get through it!

I was amused to see that Evan's hair was still shoulder length and that he looked exactly the same. But, the best thing of all was that there was a lot of love on the stage - lots of interaction between the three musicians, which is always nice to see, and, essentially, they rocked. There was also a lovely acoustic set by Evan for about 15 minutes. It all made me smile :0)
