Lemon Demon
Lemon Demon is a musical project and band created by American comedian and musician Neil Cicierega in 2003 in Boston, Massachusetts. Most Lemon Demon music is performed solely by Cicierega, who is the project's sole official member, but a full band is usually assembled for live performances. Cicierega previously released instrumental music and several remixes of video game music under the monikers "Trapezoid" and "Deporitaz" in the late 90's and early 2000's whilst frequently active on Adventure Game Studio.

Since 2003, Cicierega has released seven full-length albums as Lemon Demon. In 2005, h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
