The Lemonheads at Cyprus Avenue

What to Expect

The Lemonheads, the American alternative rock band fronted by Evan Dando and best known for their 1990s breakthrough records, play Cyprus Avenue in Cork on Saturday 19 September. The band emerged from the Boston alternative scene and became one of the more enduring names from that era of guitar-driven college rock, and their live shows draw on decades of back catalogue as well as continued output. Cyprus Avenue’s standing room and full stage setup suit a guitar band show like this, and a Saturday night slot points to a busier, more of an occasion gig than a quiet weeknight date. It’s a show aimed at fans of 90s alternative and indie rock, and the band’s lasting reputation on the touring circuit means the room is likely to draw a mixed-age crowd of longtime fans and newer listeners who’ve come to the catalogue since.
