Watch Evan Dando's Live at Moog Performance

Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando has kind of always been into covers. His band’s rendition of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson,” released as a single in 1992, was the introduction of the Lemonheads to many a fan. More recently, he and the rest of the band’s revamped crew released 11 of them on Varshons via Brooklyn-based The End Records last year, and that was before Smudge’s “No Backbone” made it onto their self-titled release in 2006.

For the second season of Paste’s “Live at Moog” series, Dando performed a stripped-down version of “No Backbone” that was as earnest as it was intimate. Check out the session at the studio in Asheville, N.C. below:
