It is an album of great charm and warmth that stands the test of time and you can hear echoes of 'Ray' in loads of the great new music being made today.
"We are very excited about Evan Dando agreeing to perform at our Awards and are honoured to be given this opportunity to celebrate the sheer brilliance of 'It's A Shame About Ray'."

The Lemonheads Revisit "Ray"
It's A Shame About Ray Is Remastered and Expanded for a Special CD/DVD Collector's Edition That Includes Evan Dando's Unreleased Home Demos, Plus the DVD Debut of Two Weeks In Australia, Featuring Videos and Live Performances
Available March 25 from Rhino
The Lemonheads' second album for Atlantic Records was an unforgettable gem. Powered by infectious melodic hooks and a mix of sweet and subversive lyrics, IT'S A SHAME ABOUT RAY helped put the band on the map in 1992. Rhino honors the album with the label's special Collector's Edition treatment, remastering and expanding the original for a CD/DVD set that includes unreleased demos along with the DVD debut of the 1993 video Two Weeks In Australia. IT'S A SHAME ABOUT RAY will be available March 25 at all physical retail outlets and www.rhino.com for a suggested list price $24.98. A digital version that includes all the CD content will also be available the same day for $10.99 from all digital retailers.
The album features the trio -- Evan Dando (guitar, vocals), David Ryan (drums) and Juliana Hatfield (bass, backing vocals) -- breezing through 13 songs in just under 30 minutes, including the title track, "My Drug Buddy," "The Turnpike Down" and a romping cover of the Simon and Garfunkel classic "Mrs. Robinson."
The 10 bonus tracks feature "Shaky Ground," which was originally released as the B-side to "My Drug Buddy." The remaining nine songs are unreleased demos that Dando recorded in 1991, including early renditions of album tracks "Confetti," "Rockin Stroll" and "Hannah & Gabi," plus "Bit Part," which includes vocals from Hatfield.
The DVD contains 45 minutes of videos and live performances that were previously released only on VHS as Two Weeks In Australia. The disc features videos for several songs from IT'S A SHAME ABOUT RAY, including the title track, the breakout single "Mrs. Robinson," "My Drug Buddy" and more. Also included is a video for "Being Around," a song that would appear a year later on the follow-up to RAY and "Half The Time" from the Lemonheads' Atlantic debut, Lovey. A trio of live performances include "Alison's Starting To Happen," "Ride With Me" from Lovey and "It's About Time" from 1993's Come On Feel The Lemonheads. The DVD also features candid commentary by Dando recalling the band's wild Australian antics.

Winter U.S. Tour - with Bill Stevenson & Karl Alvarez
The Lemonheads have announced plans for a winter tour of the U.S. The tour, which begins November 30th in San Francisco and currently wraps December 22nd in Boston, will mark the first time that Evan Dando, drummer Bill Stevenson (Descendents, Black Flag) and bassist Karl Alvarez (Descendents), the trio that recorded the latest Lemonheads disc, will perform live as a group.

Dando and Stevenson co-produced The Lemonheads, and Stevenson wrote or co-wrote three of its eleven songs; long-time Australian collaborator Tom Morgan added another two.
