Everclear, one of the leading alternative rock bands to emerge from the ‘90s led by vocalist, guitarist and founder Art Alexakis, have announced November/December Australian dates for their Sparkle and Fade 30th Anniversary Tour.
Everclear’s platinum-selling, major-label debut album had a massive impact in 1995 with its chart-topping hit Santa Monica, making Everclear a household name and catapulting the band into the masses. The acclaimed collection – also featuring the singles Heroin Girl and Heartspark Dollarsign – has been hailed as “a must have for any fan of pop-punk” (Punknews) and “a tough, melodic set of gnarled post-punk hard rock” (AllMusic), with The Rolling Stone Album Guide declaring, “Sparkle and Fade was everything a radio-ready rock record should be: explosive, soul-searching, belligerent.”
Everclear’s 16-date Australian tour will kick off Friday, November 21 in Newcastle and travel across the country, with the band performing shows in capital cities and regional areas including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, Townsville and Duncraig before wrapping up on Saturday, December 13 in Adelaide.
