Amen Dunes Unplugged

On a steamy summer night, on the first stop on Amen Dunes' cross-country tour, I had the good fortune to sit down with the band. Inside the dreamlike Columbus Theatre, Damon McMahon was aided by Jordi Wheeler on piano, and keeping time was Gleb Wilson.

“Lilac in Hand” is a highlight off Amen Dunes’ stellar full-length Love, but it was the cover of The Lemonheads’ "My Drug Buddy” that ended up stealing the show for me. Much like McMahon’s catalogue, its melancholy melody has a tendency to jangle in your head long after the song fades out.
