Dope Lemon on Tour
Soul-pop performer Angus Stone -- aka Dope Lemon -- originally hails from Australia and has performed both solo and in a number of successful musical groups. Born in 1986, Stone grew up in Sydney and started playing keyboard and guitar in elementary school. Coming from a musical family, Stone would frequently perform with other family members, including his parents (both folk musicians) and his older sisters, Julia and Catherine.
In high school, Stone started writing pop songs and joined local bands. In 2006, he and his sister, Julia Stone, formed a duo, Angus & Julia Stone. They released their debut EP Chocolate And Cigarettes, in August of that year, then followed it up with two more EPs, two compilation albums, and four studio albums.
In 2009, Stone released his debut solo album, Smoking Gun, under the pseudonym Lady Of The Sunshine, which reached the Top 50 on the ARIA Albums Chart. In 2011, Stone and his sister parted ways to pursue individual solo projects, and in 2012, he released his sophomore effort, Broken Brights, which featured "Bird on the Buffalo," "Monsters," "Wooden Chair," and the title track as singles.
In 2016, Stone began recording under the name Dope Lemon. He released the album Honey Bones that same year, recording with Rohin Brown (of The Walking Who) and Elliott Hammond. The album's singles included "Marinade" and "Uptown Folks." The following year, Stone released another set of studio recordings as Dope Lemon: the four-track EP Hounds Tooth.
By 2019, Stone released another Dope Lemon album called Smooth Big Cat. It peaked at No. 2 in Australia, with Beat magazine calling it "Dope Lemon's most developed and ethereal sound yet." In early 2022, Stone shared his fifth studio album, titled Rose Pink Cadillac. It featured the singles "Every Day Is a Holiday," "Kids Fallin' in Love," "Rose Pink Cadillac," and "Stingray Pete."
Opening up to GQ Australia in January 2022, Stone talked about how he views his personal musical evolution, saying: "I think your respect for the craft becomes more refined. It's a labor of love, to say the least. It's an ever-turning, growing wheel of learning how to tell a story. It's something I wake up every morning when I'm in the studio mode and I'm super excited. I make a coffee and wander in and it's just... I don't know, for me, I feel like I'm in this place that I'm supposed to be."

Great venue, amazing band, but with a solid catalogue of music it would be nice to hear more that one hour of live music from the band!! Is this Shrinkflation??!!
Absolutely amazing venue, amazing band, and all around great time. I absolutely can't wait till these guys come back to the States!
I wasn't sure what to expect seeing Dope Lemon for the first time live but it was great! They played all my favorite tunes and lots of new stuff. Of course they made time to come out in full head gear before the end of the show which was awesome. Can't wait to see you guys again.
Dope Lemon has been a favorite for me and my boyfriend since their beginnings. We decided we wanted to go as soon as we knew there were tickets available in a location we could attend. The show was really very good despite the bickering performers. The drunken guitarist and Angus seemed to have beef... I believe the show was cut short due to this... I fully expected a longer show but was so glad to be there and really enjoyed the show even though it was shorter than expected.
Dope lemon was freaking amazing and Angus is so amazingly talented. I literally wanted to follow him to his next show bc he’s THAT good ❤️
Wow, this was one of the worst live concerts I’ve been to. The sound was incredibly muffled yet tinny. The band’s studio work sounds amazing, but they really fell flat live. A couple of the band members appeared to be extremely inebriated. I love Angus and Julia Stone, but Angus’ Dope Lemon was a big disappointment. Such a bummer!
Great vibes. Great chill show. Definitely recommend.
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the sound of dope lemon on their recorded music - But the live show was electric! It had a far more psychedelic root to the music with absolutely awesome solos, interludes and bits. I will not be missing any future dope lemon shows!
Awesome vibe. Great concert and audience. We loved it!
Was absolutely perfect!!! First time seeing him & he did not disappoint. Love seeing bands at the 9:30 Club & go to any that I can.
Pretty sure they lip synced the entire show. Kinda like this band less now after seeing them live. :/
Found free parking a block from event! The event staff was super friendly. We have always like this venue and love the chicken Sandwich which we always try and grab before the show. Now let's talk about the show. I am a Dope Lemon fan so I did buy my tickets pre-sale so you can say I been looking forward to this night for a little bit! The band was tight and still having fun late on the tour ran. Hearing the band live was tight and I like when a band plays for each other finding magic in the beat, harmonies, and the electricity that flows from vibrations of the room.Dope Lemon played a fun chill, psychedelic blues rock show that had cool cartoons videos playing during the show that added a cool extra visual plus the Dancers that had on the fun large heads.Great time Great venue Great Band!!!
Went to see Dope Lemon at Brooklyn Bowl and they were awesome! Please check them out.
The vocal distortion I expected, just not on the banter between tracks… it made it very hard to follow along, and it definitely isn’t an issue with the sound system at the Paradise. The reliance on lots of newer material and a distracted crowd didn’t make for a life changing experience, but it was definitely fun to hear some of the hits live.
You have to see it to believe it. Dope lemon is a talented artist that's worth seeing if he's in town.
The only bad aspect of the show was Franklin Jonas but Dope was Dope!!!
Amazing show!! Loved the energy on stage and their interaction with the audience. The visuals were insane and the music and vibes were immaculate. Maybe just a bit short of a show..
Wow , my first intro to Dope Lemon and to History . The show was pure magic ! History did such a great job with the sound , screen visuals and the lights. I can’t wait to get back to History for more shows , and to see Dope Lemon any chance I can get
Such a great performance, visuals were amazing, setlist was amazing. One of the best shows.
History venue is amazing. Dope Lemon was amazing. Best time ever.
