The Lemonheads / Filmstrip June 22, 2009

Evan Dando’s image as a slacker and a lost romantic soul was built more on his social adventures than his music. The origins of The Lemonheads were in the early hardcore punk of Hate Your Friends back in 1987 before he began the transition to the dippy country pop songs that he perfected on the classic It’s A Shame About Ray. Wandering on stage with a battered acoustic and a grin he paused to honour The Saints ‘Stranded’ that was playing over the PA. From there on in it was a mixture of the pure brilliance and the random kookiness that has come to surround Evan Dando. - Doubtful Sounds
