The Lemonheads are a band that formed in 1986 in Boston, Massachusetts. These days, however, it seems that The Lemonheads are less a band then they are a backup band for singer/songwriter/guitarist Evan Dando.

Great band. There are songs on Lick that Ben Deily sang that are just freaking fantastic. One of these days I'm going to get all of their CDs.
Maybe I should check them out more. I have heard a couple Lemonheads or Evan Dando songs on the radio or soundtracks and always felt kind of so-so about them.
They really do have some great songs. I suggest checking out Lick, It’s a Shame About Ray, Come on Feel The Lemonheads, and the self-titled album.
