Everclear w/Jonny Lives! February 2, 2007

Everclear’s body of work is marked by multi-million sales, critical praise, a Grammy nomination and awards including the 1998 Billboard “Modern Rock Artist of the Year” honor. “Singer/songwriter/guitarist Art Alexakis makes it all vivid through accumulation of detail, and he spits it out with a Lennon-like candor and an unruly, unstoppable energy,” wrote the Los Angeles Times about 1997’s double platinum So Much For The Afterglow. After two years of heavy touring in support of Afterglow, the group took the unorthodox route of releasing two different and acclaimed albums in the same year, 2000’s Songs From An American Movie, Volumes 1 & 2. Everclear followed 2003’s Slow Motion Daydream with 2004’s 20-track career retrospective Ten Years Gone: The Best of Everclear 1994-2004.

Released in September, the band’s new album, Drama Club is undeniably Everclear — searing autobiographical songs matched with music born from both the punk and classic rock eras — and opens an exciting new chapter for the group.
