The Lemonheads

In late 1992, The Lemonheads were enjoying the success of their album "It's a Shame About Ray," which was released earlier that year. This album marked a significant moment in their career, propelling them into mainstream recognition with catchy singles such as "Mrs. Robinson," a reinterpretation of the Simon & Garfunkel classic. By the time of the live performance captured in London on November 30, 1992, the band was riding high on this wave of popularity. The performance highlights Evan Dando's distinct vocal style and showcases the band's unique blend of alternative rock and punk influences. An interesting aspect of this era is Dando's candid songwriting, as evidenced by the song “Stove,” which reflects his personal experiences in a whimsical yet relatable manner. This live recording serves as a testament to The Lemonheads' burgeoning fame, rooted in both their infectious sound and Dando's charismatic stage presence.
