The Lemonheads are staging a major comeback…and longtime fans couldn’t be happier, including late night TV host Jimmy Fallon.

On Tuesday, Jan. 20, iconic ’90s rocker Evan Dando and the current lineup of the Lemonheads appeared on the Tonight Show (which, according to Stereogum, was the band’s first late-night performance in 30 years).

The band played two songs: “Roky,” from their latest album, Love Chant, and the fan-favorite “Drug Buddy” from 1992’s beloved It’s a Shame About Ray. Fallon hopped up to provide some background vocals on the latter tune, and seemed beyond thrilled to join Dando at the mic.

Commenters on a YouTube clip of the performance were thrilled to see the band (particularly Dando) back in action.

“Love to see Evan in such a good shape,” wrote one person, with a second adding, “WTF this is sooo cool omg!!!”

“Still my favorite,” declared someone else.

Love Chant, the first album of original material from the Lemonheads in 20 years, has been met with both critical acclaim and positive reactions from fans, who are hoping it won’t be another two decades before more new music comes along from Dando and company.

Evan Dando now lives in Brazil

In an interview with The Current in Oct. 2025, Dando opened up about why he now lives in Brazil, saying, “It’s just way better.”

“It’s just way, way better there,” Dando continued. “It’s a way more healthy country than the United States, and I just feel good when I’m there. It hasn’t felt good here [in the U.S.] for me since like 1989. And it’s getting worse and worse.”

“I don’t know, I love being away,” the musician added. “I lived in Australia for a while. I’ve always been an aspiring expatriate, but now I finally made it out. There’s a lot of good people from America, and I love my country, but for me, it’s better not to live there right now.”

Whatever Dando is doing to stay healthy and creative, it seems to be working.
