A night with Evan Dando: free gigs and fanboys at the Cherry Bar

At around 9.30 pm last Monday, I was lounging around in a hotel pool enjoying a brief holiday in Melbourne when I missed three phone calls – three urgent phone calls telling me about a free impromptu gig by Evan Dando of the Lemonheads just 10 minutes down the road. What else could I do but dry myself, throw on some clothes and jump on a tram to the Cherry Bar.
