The Lemonheads

The Lemonheads at (le) Poisson Rouge / December 15, 2022

The Lemonheads formed in Boston in 1986 playing songs to the tune of Midwest Husker Du with some romance songwriting. Evan Dando split his songwriting duties with Ben Deiily to deliver their aggressive punk riffs! Back in 1989 the band signed to Atlantic Records and had a productive period

A lot has happened since then, rivers of water under the bridge and almost as many band members passing through as The Fall. Dando is the only constant member during the 36 years since they formed at High School in Boston, Massachusetts, with Ben Deily and Jesse Peretz. Dando’s flirtation with substances has been well

Cult favourites The Lemonheads graced a sold-out show at London's Roundhouse to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their seminal album 'It's A Shame About Ray'. It was a night of heady nostalgia with many of the audience singing along to every word

The Lemonheads – Live in 2021

Evan Dando, as he sang during the first of the night's two encores, is a kinda shoulda sorta woulda kind of guy.

The dream of the ’90s is alive in Evan Dando. While seemingly all of his Boston alt-rock peers have either adapted to the modern music landscape’s hectic pace or gotten day jobs, the Lemonheads leader still lives like he’s competing for, as he recently put it, some kind of Ultimate Slacker award.
