Halifax, check on the Gen Xers in your life today: They're most likely reeling from the fact that The Lemonheads–a huge alt-rock band with a longtime cult following—are coming to Halifax March 30. Performing at The Light House Arts Centre, the band is going to play its breakthrough record, It's A Shame About Ray, front to back.
Part of the same grunge scene that gave us bands like Mudhoney, The Lemonheads began as a hardcore punk act before becoming full-on teen heartthrobs—a shift the band's Spotify bio rightly sums up as "one of the strangest sagas in alternative music." With songs making it into movies like The Wolf Of Wall Street, it's music that defines an era.
Tickets for the 8pm show—which sees The Novacks opening—go on sale Friday, Feb 3 at 11am via Sonic Concerts.
