Philly show-goers will be treated to an appearance by one of alternative rock's longest running acts when The Lemonheads roll through North Star Bar this Saturday, Oct. 8. The grizzled quartet will bring along some youthful torch-carriers of the genre they helped create, with indie upstarts The Shining Twins and New York Rivals coming for the ride.

Rising out of their punky garage beginnings in 1986, The Lemonheads became one of indie's bigger acts in the early 90s, with several successful singles including a cover of Paul Simon's "Mrs. Robinson." The brainchild of songwriter Evan Dando, The Lemonheads were re-ignited with new members in 2005 after a six-year hiatus. Now as active as ever, Dando is once again ready to bring his signature brand of tunes on the road.

They're not in bad company, either. The Shining Twins deliver a female-fronted blend of quirky pop gems, while Brooklyn's New York Rivals bring a harder-rocking version of The Strokes to mind. Get ready for a night full of toe-tapping goodness.
