The Lemonheads

In June 1989, The Lemonheads were riding the wave of their rising fame just after the release of their album "Lick" in 1988. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing their catchy blend of alternative rock and punk influences, which garnered attention and earwormed songs like "Please Don't Laugh." By the time of this live recording, they were hitting their stride, performing with a raw energy that captivated audiences. Featuring a youthful Evan Dando, the concert in Göttingen captured the essence of their early sound, filled with melodies that blended sadness and joy—an emotional rollercoaster typical of their music. Fun fact: this era was crucial in shaping their reputation, setting the stage for the iconic album "It's a Shame About Ray" that would follow just a few years later.
