Evan Dando January 24, 2011

Evan Griffith Dando formed The Lemonheads with two high school buddies in late winter '86, in their senior year at Boston's tiny Commonwealth School. A few months later, they spawned what is now one of the most sought-after punk relics of the 80s, the indie EP 'Laughing All the Way to the Cleaners.' Boston-based Taang! Records immediately picked up on The Lemonheads, with three college radio pleasers to follow: the LPs 'Hate Your Friends,' 'Creator' and 'Lick.' In 1990 Atlantic Records took notice of the massively expanding Lemonheads fanbase in Europe (where they toured in 1989) and America by signing the band and releasing their well-received (in Cambridge, Massachusetts) fourth LP, 'Lovey.' Dando's solo output is highlighted by 2002's 'Live at the Brattle Theatre/Griffith Sunset' EP and 'Baby I'm Bored.'
