The Lemonheads Announce It’s A Shame About Ray 30th Anniversary US Tour
Earlier this year, the Lemonheads’ landmark album It’s A Shame About Ray got a deluxe 30th anniversary edition. Bandleader Evan Dando took the album out on the road, performing it in full at a series of European shows. They also opened for Jawbreaker at a Los Angeles show in April and were set to open for more dates, but were dropped from the tour in such a way that Dando ended up calling Jawbreaker “pussies.”
But the Lemonheads have just announced that they’re heading back out on the road this fall for a series of North American dates where they’ll perform It’s A Shame About Ray in full yet again. Openers for the shows include Juliana Hatfield, Bass Drum Of Death, and On Being An Angel. Tickets go on sale this Friday (8/12). Check out the full run of dates below.
