Who are The Lemonheads?
The alternative rock band was formed in 1986 by Evan Dando, Ben Deily, and Jesse Peretz. Dando has remained the band’s only constant member since its formation.
The band’s popularity grew in 1992 with their label album, It's a Shame about Ray. Shortly after, the band released a cover of Simon and Garfunkel's Mrs. Robinson, which became one of their most successful singles.
The band was active until 1997 after which it went on a hiatus. In 2005, it reformed with a new lineup following which the band released a self-titled album in 2006. In February 2019, the band released its latest album, Varshons 2.
In 2022, The Lemonhead's album It’s A Shame About Ray got a deluxe 30th-anniversary edition. Earlier this year, frontman Evan Dando performed the album in full at a series of European shows. The Lemonheads also opened for Jawbreaker at a Los Angeles show in April.
