The Lemonheads return in 2025 with Love Chant (out via Fire Records, October 24th), their first studio album in nearly two decades – a bold, melodic reaffirmation of Evan Dando’s singular songwriting voice. Written across continents and recorded primarily in São Paulo, Brazil, where Dando now resides, Love Chant finds the frontman reconnecting with longtime collaborators while introducing new creative voices. It’s a record of fresh starts and familiar sounds – emotionally raw, melodically rich, and unmistakably Lemonheads.

The new album features contributions from J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr), Juliana Hatfield, Tom Morgan, Bryce Goggin, Erin Rae, and Nick Saloman of The Bevis Frond. It’s a diverse but coherent work – from the full-throttle hooks of “Deep End” to the spectral softness of “The Key Of Victory,” and the Modern Lovers-like drive of the title track. Co-released alongside Dando’s forthcoming memoir Rumours Of My Demise (via Faber, November 6th), Love Chant marks both a return and a reckoning – the sound of an artist who’s lived, lost, and located the thread once again.

The Unusual Suspects: A Wild Murder Mystery

Every Tuesday
July 12 2025

10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
The Push Comedy Theater 763 Granby Street Norfolk, VA 23510 support@pushcomedytheater.com Price: $16.00
A Murder Mystery in Norfolk like no other!

Everyone in the room is a suspect in this wild murder mystery in Norfolk… EVEN YOU! The Unusual Suspects is a completely made-up murder mystery. Detective Brad McMurran walks you through the suspects… all pulled from the audience. No matter what twists the suspects throw at our great detective, he’s following the fun right to the very end. Watch in amazement as Brad pieces the puzzle back together, and leaves everyone doubled over with laughter. The show is completely improvised, so who knows what will happen next?

Each month, Brad plays a different detective inspired by the great sleuths of fiction. If you love mysteries, whodunnits, and good plot loop-hole, The Unusual Suspects is for you. Can you solve the murder before our crack investigator?

The Unusual Suspects is the brainchild of Brad McMurran (co-writer of Cuff Me: The 50 Shades of Grey Musical Parody, and co-owner of The Push Comedy Theater). The show regularly sells out at the Push Comedy Theater. It has been performed at parties, festivals, and corporate events. It was performed monthly at the South Point Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
