| Lemonheads' Evan Dando. |
The Lemonheads' cover of "Mrs. Robinson" was invented to coincide with the '90s VHS release of the '60s classic The Graduate.
Meanwhile, the Psychedelic Furs' "Pretty In Pink" was the inspiration for John Hughes's oft-imitated 1986 film of the same name.
Evan Dando and the Lemonheads were the '90s poppy alternative to grunge, making no effort to obscure either their melodies or their good looks.
The Furs' synth-pop-rock was the template for all '80s late-New Wave musical clichés: big choruses, deadpan vocals, and keyboards that sound like flutes.
So to the uninitiated, these two bands may be nothing more than a pair of retro one-hit wonders.
But to those who do know, the Lemonheads and the Psychedelic Furs simply aimed for -- and slightly missed the mark on -- pop superstardom.
Lemonheads and Psychedelic Furs. Sunday, October 28. Grand Central, 697 N. Miami Ave., Miami. The shows starts at 8 p.m. and tickets cost $25 plus fees via fla.vor.us. All ages. Call 305-377-2277 or visit grandcentralmiami.com.
