SUMMARY:Everclear
DESCRIPTION:Everclear \nArt Alexakis – Vocals\, Guitar \nDavey French – Guitar \nFreddy Herrera – Bass \nBrian Nolan – Drums \nEverclear\, one of the leading alternative rock bands to emerge from the ‘90s\, celebrated their 30th Anniversary in recent years\, and founder\, vocalist and guitarist Art Alexakis has made it clear that he has no plans to slow down. Since forming in 1992\, Everclear has enjoyed a lengthy career by any measure\, spanning 11 studio releases\, including four that have been certified Gold or Platinum\, selling over 6 million records\, and achieving 12 Top 40 Hit Singles on Mainstream Rock\, Alternative\, and Adult Top 40 radio\, including “Santa Monica\,” “Father of Mine\,” “I Will Buy You A New Life\,” “Wonderful” and “Everything To Everyone\,” as well as numerous videos\, thousands of shows\, and various other accolades\, including a 1998 Grammy nomination. \nAfter the demise of his band Colorfinger in 1992\, Alexakis was struggling to make it in Portland\, where he’d moved from San Francisco. That extremely difficult personal and creative period was the crucible that forged Alexakis into the fiery songwriter heard on the early Everclear demos\, the Nervous & Weird EP (1993)\, and ultimately the World of Noise LP\, both released on the Portland independent label Tim/Kerr Records. The original 1993 release of World of Noise\, paired with the band’s significant efforts to break into college radio and the buzz they’d created within the Portland music scene\, attracted the attention of major labels\, including Capitol Records\, which signed the group soon after. Beginning with their major-label debut\, 1995’s platinum-selling album Sparkle and Fade\, and its massive chart-topping hit “Santa Monica\,” Everclear was soon a household name and catapulted into the masses\, thus allowing their impressive three-decade career to prosper and endure. \nIn 2019\, while being treated for an injury caused by a minor car accident\, Alexakis was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) and learned that he had likely been living with the disease for nearly twenty years. Since being diagnosed\, Art has donated one dollar from every ticket purchased for his performances to charities such as Sweet Relief Musicians Fund and National MS Society. \nIn 2022\, Everclear reissued World Of Noise as a special 30th Anniversary remastered\, deluxe edition\, making the album available for the first time on digital streaming platforms with 6 bonus songs in addition to its original 12 tracks. Adding to the celebrations that year\, Everclear released a commemorative anniversary video\, “Everclear – 30 Years Gone: A Retrospective\,” hosted by former MTV VJ\, current radio host and longtime friend Matt Pinfield\, and embarked on a lengthy North American Tour. One special stop on the tour\, back in Alexakis’ hometown of Los Angeles\, was recorded and filmed for a new live album. Live at The Whisky a Go Go (released in 2023 via Sunset Blvd. Records) features all the hits and hidden treasures from throughout Everclear’s extraordinary catalog as well as two new original bonus studio tracks. \nContinuing to celebrate their acclaimed decades-long career and provide the band’s dedicated fanbase with long-awaited content\, Everclear released their platinum-selling album Songs From An American Movie Vol. One on vinyl for the first time ever in 2024 via Intervention Records. And to mark the 30th Anniversary of the album that changed it all\, a special reissue of Sparkle and Fade will be released in 2025 including bonus tracks and Everclear will hit the road for an extensive fall headlining tour. \nIn addition to his thousands of Everclear performances over the band’s lengthy career\, Alexakis created and runs the annual Summerland Tour\, which features a package of popular ‘90s alt rock bands\, and he released his first solo album\, Sun Songs\, in 2019. More than three decades later\, Everclear’s enduring legacy and ongoing appeal as a live band continues. \nwww.everclearmusic.com \n\n \n\nLocal H\nLocal H\, the iconic alt-rock duo known for their blistering live shows and unorthodox two-piece setup\, are at the top of their game three decades after they first burst onto the music scene. Now\, frontman Scott Lucas\, who covers both guitar and bass (through an extra pick up in his guitar)\, and drummer Ryan Harding are gearing up to release their 9th studio album\, LIFERS. 
 Local H’s first major release was 1995’s Ham Fisted\, but it was their 1996 follow up album As Good As Dead that positioned the band as one of the elites of 90s rock. The radio hit “Bound For The Floor” emerged as a generational anthem and remains a staple on playlists around the country today. Their widely praised 1998 concept album Pack Up the Cats solidified Local H as a leader in the genre\, and the albums that followed reflected not only the band’s definitive character\, but also their relentless effort to give their audience as much of themselves as possible. 
 The past five years have been some of the busiest of their career. They released their 8th studio album Hey\, Killer\, numerous EPs and live records\, and a series of “Mix Tapes” featuring a surprising mix of cover songs. They’ve toured almost constantly\, with hugely successful tours with the likes of Toadies and Helmet\, including performances on Metallica‘s sold out stadium tour. 
 2020 will see the band on tour with fellow 90s alt-rock vets Soul Asylum in the Spring\, and their new album LIFERS will be out April 10 via AntiFragile Music. \n\n\n \n\nSponge\nSponge is an American alternative rock band formed in Detroit\, Michigan in 1992 by vocalist Vinnie Dombroski\, guitarists Mike Cross and Joey Mazzola\, bassist Tim Cross\, and drummer Jimmy Paluzzi. \nAfter shopping demos as the newly formed quintet\, the song “Neenah Menasha” caught the ears of A&R person Pablo Mathiason and the band signed with The Work Group (a Columbia Records subsidiary) in the fall of 1993. The following year\, Sponge released the now iconic\, Platinum-selling debut album\, “Rotting Piñata\,” to global\, critical and commercial success. \nAfter two top 10 hit singles\, several tours and live television performances\, including the Jon Stewart Show and Late Night with David Letterman\, Sponge followed up their debut with 1996’s “Wax Ecstatic.” This sophomore effort garnered a “Song Of The Year” nod from Rolling Stone Magazine for title track “Wax Ecstatic.” The album also yielded two additional top 10 hit singles and featured a guest vocal appearance from Richard Butler of the Psychedelic Furs on the song “I Am Anastasia.” \nSince then\, Sponge continues to release new music and keeps a near-constant tour schedule to the pleasure of their legion of loyal followers. \nThough continually led by Vinnie Dombroski\, Sponge’s lead singer and chief songwriter\, the band has seen a few line-up changes over the course of its 30+ year career. \nSponge currently features: Andy Patalan (guitar\, vocals) and his brother Tim Patalan (bass). The Patalan brothers were a natural addition to the band\, having previously engineered and produced the first three Sponge records at their studio\, The Loft\, in Saline\, Michigan. \nThe Brothers Patalan are joined by Kyle Neely (guitar) and recent addition\, former Taproot drummer Dave Coughlin.  Sponge’s discography includes nine studio albums\, four live albums\, and seven charting singles; 4 of which have made Billboard Magazines top 10. \nThe band has also been featured on several compilations and movie soundtracks over their decades long career. \nThey are best known for their prominent 1994 hit single “Plowed” (#5 on Billboard Alt Rock) as well as the 1995 hit “Molly (16 Candles)” (#3 on Billboard Alt Rock)\, the 1996 hit “Wax Ecstatic” (#10 on Billboard Mainstream Rock) and 1997’s hit “Have You Seen Mary”(#7 on Billboard Mainstream Rock) respectively. \nSponge is busy supporting their latest release and shows no sign of stopping for the foreseeable future. \nProudly representing the city of Detroit\, Sponge takes their well earned place as a part of Rock-N-Roll’s lengthy musical history.
