In July 1991, The Lemonheads were riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album *It's a Shame About Ray*, which had been released earlier that year. This live recording of 'hate your friends' captures the band during a pivotal moment in their career—a time when they were solidifying their place in the alternative rock scene. Interestingly, this tour marked The Lemonheads' very first trip to Australia, introducing their fresh sound to new fans. The energy in the venue, the Phoenician Club, was electric, making it a memorable night for both the band and the audience.
