Early in May, Torontoist made it out to a free Long Winters concert at the Berkley Church. The show was terrific—we scored John Roderick's kazoo!—and, as it turns out, was just one episode in a series of shows put on for an HDTV channel in the States called called Rave HD. The aim of the show is to be something like "Sessions at West 45th," with a focus on capturing up-and-coming indie bands before they "make it big."

The Lemonheads stopped by Toronto last week to play an almost capacity crowd at Lee's Palace. While this is the first Lemonheads tour in about 10 years, lead singer Evan Dando was in town at The Horseshoe last February, playing a solo show, which turned out to be a less than stellar set where he walked off because "people were talking in the back." Seriously. It's more likely that he quit due to being (almost certainly) completely out of it, becoming less and less coherent as the show went on. So when it was announced that The Lemonheads were coming to town, many speculated about how the show would go -- would it be a trainwreck or would it be worth going to?
