The Lemonheads

In June 1989, The Lemonheads were on the rise, having just released their album 'Lick' earlier that year, which marked a significant evolution in their sound. This live recording at Vrije Vloer in Utrecht captures them during a pivotal moment on their European tour, showcasing a raw yet dynamic performance that fans love. Interestingly, this set also features songs from the earlier 'Hate Your Friends' and the burgeoning sound that would become synonymous with the band. At this time, Evan Dando was solidifying his status as a charismatic frontman, blending punk rock energy with alternative melodies. It's also worth noting that this was before they exploded in popularity with their 1992 album 'It's a Shame About Ray', making this performance a delightful snapshot of their burgeoning career.
