The Lemonheads

On October 9, 2011, The Lemonheads delivered a heartfelt performance at Bowery Ballroom in New York City, celebrating their iconic album "It's A Shame About Ray." This live recording comes at a pivotal time, as the band's legacy was enjoying a revival in the early 2010s after they re-formed in 2005 and released new music, including a reissue of Ray in 2009. What's particularly interesting here is that Evan Dando, the frontman, bravely took the stage despite not feeling at his vocal best, showcasing the band's raw energy and commitment to their craft. This performance not only highlighted older hits like "Mrs. Robinson" but also the enduring charm of The Lemonheads’ blend of punk and pop. Their ability to connect with fans, even in tough circumstances, speaks volumes about their place in the indie rock landscape.
