Three a long time after the discharge of Sparkle and Fade, Everclear are bringing their seminal 1995 album to life on an in depth 16-date Australian tour kicking off Nov. 21 in Newcastle.
The Portland alt-rock outfit, led by founding member Artwork Alexakis, will carry out the beloved album in full every evening — together with hits like “Santa Monica” and deep cuts like “Strawberry” — alongside different fan favorites from their discography.
In an announcement shared with followers, Alexakis stated, “Due to its success and lasting impression, this band has survived and prospered for 3 a long time, and this tour celebrating Sparkle and Fade is one other manner of us saying ‘thanks’ to the entire unimaginable followers — outdated and new.”
He continued, “We’re excited to convey this tour to Australia. Along with all of the hits and fan favourites, we’re going to just about play the entire album by the course of the present to commemorate this thirtieth anniversary.”
Initially launched in 1995, Sparkle and Fade marked Everclear’s main label breakthrough and was licensed platinum within the U.S. by the RIAA in 1996. Whereas “Santa Monica” turned the band’s breakout anthem, tracks like “Heroin Lady” and “Strawberry” earned a cult following amongst longtime followers. The latter has taken on new significance for Alexakis, who was recognized with a number of sclerosis in 2019.
Regardless of his well being challenges, Alexakis has remained energetic on the street, with one greenback from each Everclear ticket offered donated to organizations together with the Candy Reduction Musicians Fund and the Nationwide MS Society.
The tour begins Nov. 21 at Bar on the Hill in Newcastle, adopted by exhibits at Manning Bar in Sydney on Nov. 22, Caringbah Resort on Nov. 23, Drifters Wharf in Gosford on Nov. 24, The Baso in Canberra on Nov. 27, Chelsea Heights Resort in Chelsea Heights on Nov. 28, Prince Bandroom in St Kilda on Nov. 29, and Barwon Heads Resort on Nov. 30.
