The Lemonheads 'Ray' tour

Nov 29, 2010 Updated Nov 30, 2010

The Lemonheads kick off their Australian tour dates this week with Evan Dando and his band playing their classic 1992 album ‘It’s A Shame About Ray’ in its entirety.

The album, including the singles 'Mrs Robinson' and 'Alison’s Starting to Happen', was first played in full in London five years ago. But with the iconic release having been written about Sydney, the local dates are likely to be very special for the band and fans. It's A Shame About Ray runs at a very short 25 minutes, so the rest of the set is expected to include a mix of new and old Lemonheads tunes.

The Lemonheads tour dates:

Tuesday November 30 - The Zoo, Brisbane
Supported by The Candles (acoustic)

Wednesday December 1 - Metro Theatre, Sydney
Supported by Smudge

Thursday December 2 - Corner Hotel, Melbourne
Supported by The Candles (acoustic) - SOLD OUT!

Friday December 3 - The Espy Gershwin Room, Melbourne
Supported by Smudge

Sunday December 5 - Rosemount Hotel, Perth
Supported by The Candles (acoustic)

Evan Dando performs solo on Sunday December 12 at Melbourne's Northcote Social Club.
