He was the coolest man on the planet for a bit our Evan. Then he went on tour with Oasis and lost his mind.

Lightweight.

hahahaha! credit where it's due - Ev looks younger today than he did back in the day when he was losing his mind following the brothers grim around...

have you heard the covers record 'varshions' he put out last year?

To be honest, and I always do this with bands, I lost interest after "A Shame About Ray" (the album), but I know he's a talented bugger. I'll check that out.

Yep, he really is a talented fucker. His voice has gotten better with age, and he's one of the few true characters left in an otherwise pretty dull business...I could tell Dando stories all day but eventually I'd get sued by someone...;- )<br /><br />-- Tue Sep 14, 2010 1:48 pm --<br /><br />[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eNc-nizv9U[/youtube]

I got into them through Craig Cash when he had a regular slot in the evening on Signal Radio. Cash had a bit of a man crush on him I think.

He managed to get him in for an interview around 1992-93 and Dando was charm and wit personified.

He then went to interview him backstage at The Academy in 1994 ish and I couldn't understand a word he was saying, he was absolutely foooked!!!

I think that period was a heavy one for alot of people to be fair. Including me!!!

In-fucking-deed. Craig Cash. Now that takes me back....;- )

Oh, and everyone - I mean everyone - had a man crush on Evan. I remember Noel once telling a room full of liggers and hangers on that although he hated the Lemonheads, Evan was "the fucking best looking bloke we've ever had on our tour bus. And we've had Jonny Depp on there..."

PMSL...<br /><br />-- Tue Sep 14, 2010 2:02 pm --<br /><br />How could I forget this! His best cover hands down...

Brilliant stuff, love the Lemonheads, Evan Dando.

Varshons is a good album, that godawfull Christina Aguilera song sounds just about listenable when E.D sings it.

Best Lemonheads cover - Skulls
 
Boys of summer - The Ataris

Poker Face - You Me At Six

Mrs Robinson - The Lemonheads

Time After Time - Quietdrive

Surrender - Less Than Jake

I want it that way - Dynamite Boy...seriously, top tune when played it metal!

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

Teenage Dirtbag - Weezer...dunno if anyone saw them do this at Leeds but it was fooking quality!!!!!!!!!!!!
