lemonheads first video: "second chance"

Ergh! My tune--and the first-ever Lemonheads video, as seen on MTV's then-the-only-hope-for-Indie-bands "120 Minutes"!

Production notes: we (the band members) never actually met this gal who appears in the video...she was an actress, her scenes shot entirely separately from us. (We saw her for the first time when the video was screened for us.)

Also, the live footage was shot during an actual concert at Boston's legendary--and now, alas, defunct--Rathskellar (aka "The Rat"), and approximately lip-synched to the recording by the video's creators.

P.S.: To the entity [Koch Entertainment] that challenged my right to present this material: the song is and has always been copyrighted by me, Ben Deily, and is published by me (Henry's Confession Music) and the recorded masters heard here (as well as this video) belong--to the best of my knowledge--to Curtis/TAANG! records, whose permission I have to air this.

I hear a big punk rock influence. I thought I was hearing Replacements too at the start. Interesting how he changed his style.

@whpriol1 Don't know if I really changed my style all THAT much since then--(tho you probably mean Ev, who just plays guitar on this tune)...but the 'Mats influence is in there in all the early songs, for both of us, for sure...

As half of Visions Unlimited, it was scool to see this again. I sent links to the director and cameraman. Now if only I could find the gal....

[dubitandum]

@Swiftclaw123 She's up here somewhere...I think she maybe even left a comment waaaaay back when. (I'll see if I can find an email address or a username.) :-)

lemonheads? this is not Evan Dando's 90's band right?

[dubitandum]

@ferdzrines954 Um, yes it is... :-) Before it was "Evan Dando's band," there was a couple of us singing and writing songs.

(Can't you see Ev in the video? Short blond hair? Kinda hard to miss...)

Thanks for posting such a good quality version of this. I remember recording it on VHS back in the 80s. Still a great song.
