we're back!

6/17/08:: For those of you who didn't know, Lemonsoul took the first month of summer off to travel (Ingmar spent a week or two in Austin, TX; Dan spent a month volunteering in New Zealand; Austin spent a month working in Alabama).  Rest assured, we will be returning to work this Wednesday and as always, you can catch us from 10:30 to 2 every Wednesday night at the Phyrst!  Arts Festival is approaching fast, so keep in mind that we have a prime spot this year: Friday night at 10 on the Allen St. Stage.  We hope to see you all there.

 

Check our schedule for more upcoming summer shows including Greg Johnson's LAST show in State College...

 

earth day tomorrow on the HUB Lawn!

4/19/08:: We will be playing at 7PM on the HUB Lawn tomorrow for Earth Day, so if you're free and the weather is nice, come stop by!  There will be activities and entertainment all day, as organized by PSU's EcoAction; these guys have been working really hard so even if you can't make it for us, try to make an appearance at some point during the day.  It will be worth your time.

 

cafe 210 on thursday

3/24/08:: For those of you who have trouble attending our weekly Wednesday night shows, come check us out this Thursday night at Cafe 210.  Same time as usual (10:30 - 2)...bring friends!  Check back soon for other upcoming Thursday night Cafe 210 dates and a new set of live photographs.  

 

now every wednesday night at the phyrst!

 1/15/08:: For almost two years now we have occupied the weekly Sunday night gig at the Phyrst.  I guess you could say we paid our dues and now we are excited to announce we have moved into the Wednesday night slot (Maxwell Strait will be moving to Thursdays).  Starting tomorrow (the 16th), you can catch us every Wednesday night from approx. 10pm - close.

 

We should also note the postponement of our State Theatre show due to various logistical reasons.  Hopefully we will be announcing the new date soon.

 

Lastly, we have four Friday night shows booked at Bar Bleu for this semester, as listed on the "shows" page.  Check back in the coming days for an update regarding some other exciting additions to our schedule...

 

lemonsoul live at the State Theatre
11/11/07:: We are very excited to announce that Lemonsoul will be headlining a show at the beautiful State Theatre on Friday, January 25, 2008.  The show will feature a few special guests in addition to opening act Barafo (African drum and dance group).  This will be our first all ages show in over six months and we hope to showcase several brand new songs.  Tickets go on sale in a couple weeks, check back for more details...

 

welcome to the new website!
11/11/07:: Welcome to the new Lemonsoul website!  It's been several months since our last update, but rest assured, Lemonsoul is as focused and ambitious as ever.  You can still catch us every Sunday night at the Phyrst from 10:30 - close.

 

movin' on 2007 - thanks for your support!
4/29/07:: Last night we opened up for Phantom Planet at Movin' On 2007 and despite the questionable weather, we had a truly amazing time.  We owe all our loyal fans a huge THANKS...we had no idea there was still so much support for us out there!  And all the dancing...you know how we like that.   Check back soon for more details about upcoming shows (including one a rally at South Hills aimed at getting rid of the SCASD school board's new plans).

PSU battle of the bands champs!
4/14/07:: Just wanted to remind everyone that April 22 is Earth Day!  That happens to be a Sunday so we will be playing at the Phyrst (as we do every Sunday night) and we hope to get a hold of some Earth Day pins for you all.  Learn more here...  We also want to thank those of you who came and supported us at the PSU "Movin' On" Battle of the Bands.  We had a truly fun time thanks to you guys, and to our surprise we actually won first place.  So make sure to catch us at HUB Lawn for Movin' On 2007 on April 28.  I don't have the details yet but we will be playing on the sidestage right before the headliner (Phantom Planet; you know, Califooorrniiaaa).  So between Earth Day and Movin' On, we hope to see all of you in the coming weeks!

 

demo, EP, whatever you want to call it
2/6/07:: As many of you know, Lemonsoul has been recording songs for a new EP in the last few months.  Thus far, three songs are complete and a few more are coming along.  However, for several reasons Lemonsoul has recently decided to instead release a "four-song demo" as soon as possible, and continue working on a variety of songs over the next year.  This will include the three studio tracks we have completed and one live song.  We feel as though right now the best thing we can do is get the music out quickly to the people who want to hear it and not charge them an arm and a leg for it!  What is the difference between a demo and an EP?  Well, the demo will not be "professionally copied and printed" because quite frankly it is an expensive process for just four songs!  (The songs, however, will be of the most professional quality)  Lemonsoul does hope to release a full-length  studio album in the future; an album that will better reflect our maturity as a band and ever-changing influences.  We are still young and hope that our potential growth over the coming months and years will create better and better music.  As for the demo, it should be available within the next three weeks.  More info soon...

 

thon benefit - lulu's - feb 1st

1/23/07::  Check the photos page for some new pics from the Phyrst!  Also, Lemonsoul will be playing a THON benefit show at Lulu's on Feb. 1st.  Check back for more details...

 

 

new EP on the way

1/11/07:: Not much to report at this point; however, we have been working on our EP for several weeks now and hope to release it by spring break...Most likely it will be $5 and will include around six songs.  We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have been supporting us at the Phyrst on Sunday nights, including the loyal weekly fans, the staff, and anyone else who has stopped by.  You guys are the best!
