Evan Dando will play an ultra-intimate solo show in London later this month.

The gig takes place at The Macbeth in Hoxton on May 13 ahead of his performances at The Great Escape and the Stag & Dagger festival on May 14 and 21 respectively.

The 42-year-old singer will be playing material from The Lemonheads' ninth studio album, the covers record 'Varshons', released on June 15 through Cooking Vinyl.

The album is inspired and produced by The Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes and features an array of bizarre covers, from GG Allin to Townes Van Zandt.

Guest vocalists on the record include Kate Moss, Liv Tyler and John Perry from The Only Ones.
