Interview with Evan Dando by Andy Roberts & Suzanne Hutchinson
at Leeds Festival August 2001
Did you enjoy tonight?
Tonight was way better than last night. Last night the amp was a screeching
mess.
Is that it for The
Lemonheads?
Well we called ourselves ’Rebel Crew 2001’ tonight! It changes
a lot. The Lemonheads – that’s had it’s day. After
all we started The Lemonheads in High School.
You still in touch
with Juliana Hatfield?
Of course, I stayed in her apartment the other night when she was away.
She’s doin’ her thing. She…..er…..I’m
not going to gossip about her! She’s ‘playing music still’!
So what’s in
the future?
We’re looking to get some money and make a record. I want to make
it with John Bryan ["Magnolias" Soundtrack]. We’ve got
four tracks recorded already and we just need to get some money together
to finish it.
Do you ever regret
that NME interview when you were recovering from your dabbling with
Crack?
My manager shouldn’t have allowed that interview. The doctor said
I couldn’t talk – so I wrote down the truth…and you
should never tell journalists the truth!
