With a few years of hard work and trials under their belt, Lemon Sun has just completed their first full-length album. The band was tired of labels talking without walking so they took out a loan and made a record on their terms with help from talented producer Dave Schiffman (Dead Meadow, long time engineer for Rick Rubin).

Lemon Sun is set for a quick but rambunctious set of dates from May 6 th -10 th, , including stops in Las Vegas, San Francisco, Orange County, San Diego, as well as a hometown gig in LA. New York City's finest, The Rosewood Thieves will also be joining the band. With a rabid following spreading up and down the West Coast, fans should keep their eyes and ears out for Lemon Sun, before this hot, little secret burns its way into every stereo around.

With seemingly every reason to call it quits in music, including a revolving door of bands and members, Chris Knight and Rob Kolar started Lemon Sun in 2005, after 10 years of playing music together, simply as a recording project to keep busy. Cue Michael Shapiro, an old guitar student of Kolar's, as the starry-eyed, guitar player who packed up the car and headed West in hopes of fulfilling the American, rock-n-roll dream. A phone call from the side of the road, asking Kolar if he knew anyone starting a band sealed the deal, and the Lemon Sun of today was beginning to pour its tasty rays over the horizon. Add Nick Rucker on the drum kit, which brings the driving force and sweet, sexual sound to the band.

The odd man out in the band is, well, not even a man at all. Replying to a Craigslist add for a "guitarist/singer who can also play piano", Melissa Dougherty fit the bill perfectly, boasting an extensive resume, and appeared to stand out like a vibrant lime in this pile of Lemons. Thankfully, her guitar playing shreds harder than a blender, and helps mix the ingredients of Lemon Sun into their own version of a rock-n-roll cocktail, sure to leave you with a blistering hangover in the morning.

Lemon Sun carry an essential swagger along with their melodic hooks and bring a contagious energy to every live performance. Their involvement with local bands and the growing Southern California music movement has helped them become an integral part of the ever growing and changing Los Angeles music scene.
