Lemonheads to Tour “Ray”

07/12/2011




 

Beloved alt-nineties classic album sure to bring out the nostalgia vote.

Lemonheads announce an extensive U.S. tour for later this fall where the Evan Dando-led three piece will be performing their classic 1992 album, It's A Shame About Ray, from beginning to end.  It won't be the classic '92 lineup of Dando, Juliana Hatfield and David Ryan on tour, however: joining Dando will be guitarist Josh Lattanzi  (The Candles) and drummer Brian Nolan (American Hi-Fi).

 

Rhino Records re-released a collector's version of the album with bonus tracks and a DVD in 2007 for the US and now the UK will get their chance thanks to the Edsel imprint of the UK-based Demon Music Group later this fall. The Lemonheads' most recent release is Varshons - a collection of covers including tracks by GG Allin, Wire, Gram Parsons, Leonard Cohen and more - in 2009. The album only received so-so reviews from the critics (read the BLURT review here), and since then Dando has busied himself primarily doing solo acoustic gigs, so the Ray tour may help give the band a much-needed positive boost in the minds of the public.
