About the Artist

Formed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1986, The Lemonheads rose to prominence in the early 1990s with their distinctive blend of punk energy and melodic sensibilities.

Their breakthrough came with the 1992 album 'It's a Shame About Ray', which featured a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's 'Mrs. Robinson' that became a surprise hit. The album itself is a landmark of the era, showcasing Dando's distinctive vocal style and knack for crafting memorable, often melancholic, tunes. Throughout their career, The Lemonheads have released a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 'Lick' and 'Come on Over'.
