The Lemonheads Add 50 Tour Dates
10/21/2011
.
(CS) The Lemonheads have announced an additional 50 North American tour dates for early 2012. The group will be performing their classic 1992 album, It's A Shame About Ray, from beginning to end. Evan Dando will be joined on this tour by guitarist Josh Lattanzi (The Candles) and drummer Brian Nolan (American Hi-Fi). It's A Shame About Ray was released in 1992 and was The Lemonheads' second album for Atlantic Records. The album featured the trio � Evan Dando (guitar, vocals), David Ryan (drums) and Juliana Hatfield (bass, backing vocals) � breezing through 12 songs in just under 30 minutes, including the title track, "My Drug Buddy," "The Turnpike Down" and the cultural touchstone, "Alison's Starting To Happen." On February 7, 2012, The Lemonheads will release Hotel Sessions on Hall of Records/Breath of Saltwater � an intimate recording documenting a Sunday night that Evan Dando spent recording new songs with just an acoustic guitar (and some revealing commentary) in a hotel room in Bondi Beach, Australia. The 14 songs include some that never made it to an official Lemonheads album, but Dando says, "the "Into Your Arms" I did here is better than the one on the album (I like it anyway)." The past year has seen Evan Dando performing sold-out acoustic dates in the US with former band-mate Juliana Hatfield as well as performing both solo and band dates in the UK, Australia, and Europe. New York's The Shining Twins will support The Lemonheads on the upcoming 2012 dates and will also be releasing an EP, Cum Play With Us, on February 7 via Hall of Records/Breath of Saltwater. Tickets from the Lemonheads canceled October 5 date in Atlanta (due to Dando's bout with pharyngitis early on in the tour) will be honored at the February 27 show - also at The Earl.
