    THE LEMONHEADS: LIVE AT THE KNITTING FACTORY

    Evan Dando and the Lemonheads played the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn last night (July 30) with Josh Lattanzi and The Candles. Both bands, whose front men oddly resemble one another,  put on two great sets but what is most amazing, besides Dandos voice, is that  he looks the same age as I remember him when I was in Junior High. Hard to believe he is 43.
    Seeing Dando perform live is both nostalgic and strangely relevant at the same time.  He

    Label: Downtown
    Release Date: September 14, 2010
    “If you like The Smiths, you’ll like The Drums.” – anonymous indie rock guy
    It’s a crass assumption, but it’s one supported by The Smiths Rule Of Averages, which alleges, “If a band claims The Smiths as a major influence, the average Smiths fan will like said band. The Drums wear their Moz & Marr-worshipping hearts on their sleeves and on their debut self-titled LP (finally released stateside) lead singer Jonathan Pierce,

The images are taken from within vehicles along Anthony’s travels  with a low resolution digital and 35mm camera. Read what Anthony has to say about his work:
