\"\"<\/a>Everclear<\/strong>, one of the leading alternative rock bands to emerge from the ’90s led by vocalist, guitarist and founder\u00a0Art Alexakis,\u00a0<\/strong>have announced November \/ December Australian dates for their\u00a0Sparkle and Fade 30th Anniversary Tour.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everclear’s platinum-selling, major-label debut album, had a massive impact in 1995 with its chart-topping hit\u00a0“Santa Monica,”<\/strong>\u00a0making\u00a0Everclear<\/strong>\u00a0a household name and catapulting the band into the masses. The acclaimed collection \u2013 also featuring the singles\u00a0“Heroin Girl”<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0“Heartspark<\/strong>\u00a0Dollarsign”<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 has been hailed as\u00a0“a must<\/em>\u00a0have for any fan of pop-punk”<\/em>\u00a0(Punknews)\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0“a tough, melodic set of gnarled post-punk hard rock<\/em>” (AllMusic<\/em>), with\u00a0The Rolling Stone Album Guide\u00a0<\/em>declaring,\u00a0“Sparkle and Fade was everything a radio-ready rock record should be: explosive, soul-searching, belligerent.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Everclear’s<\/strong>\u00a016-date<\/strong>\u00a0Australian tour will kick off\u00a0Friday November 21\u00a0<\/strong>in\u00a0Newcastle<\/strong>\u00a0and travel across the country, with the band performing shows in capital cities and regional areas including\u00a0Melbourne<\/strong>,\u00a0Sydney<\/strong>,\u00a0Brisbane<\/strong>,\u00a0Perth<\/strong>,\u00a0Canberra<\/strong>,\u00a0Townsville\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Duncraig<\/strong>\u00a0before wrapping up on\u00a0Saturday December 13<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0Adelaide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Sparkle and Fade was not the first album I had made, but it was the album I had wanted to make my whole life. It changed everything for me and Everclear,” shares\u00a0<\/em>Alexakis<\/i><\/strong>. “Because of its success and lasting impact, this band has survived and prospered for three decades, and this tour celebrating Sparkle and Fade is another way of us saying ‘thank you’ to all of the incredible fans \u2013 old and new. We’re excited to bring this tour to Australia. In addition to all the hits and fan favorites, we’re going to pretty much play the whole album through the course of the show to commemorate this 30th anniversary. If you are a fan of this record, you do not want to miss this tour!”<\/em><\/p>\n
