The nostalgia tours just keep on coming. Some 17 years after they released their breakthrough album Sparkle and Fade, Everclear are heading to Australia.
If that statistic is making you feel old too, chances are you’ll love seeing the band belting out some of the big smash singles like “Santa Monica” and “Wonderful.”
The shows won’t just be about reminiscing though. Everclear are releasing a brand new album, dubbed Invisible Stars, later this year, and no doubt Aussie audiences will get a taste of that.
“When I look back at what Everclear has done, I see a lot of things that have changed and a lot of things that have stayed consistent,” explained the band’s frontman Art Alexakis. “But at the end of the day, I’m still doing the same thing I’ve always done. It’s still guitar-based rock ‘n’ roll, and I’m still just telling stories, which is all I’ve ever wanted to do. I’m proud of what we’ve done, and I still enjoy it. And I feel blessed that other people like it too.”
