Everclear were a platinum selling band in Australia in the 90s and the three big albums are all coming up for the 30th anniversaries in coming years.
Everclear’s first million seller is a year away from its 30th anniversary and Art Alexakis is already preparing for the occasion.
“Next year is the 30th anniversary of Sparkle and Fade, which is a big deal,” Art tells Noise11.com. “I am already working with EMI, Capitol, Universal to license that and a bunch of deep tracks that they have in their archives. I will put together a really nice package. That is what I am working on”.
Watch the Noise11 Art Alexakis interview:
Art says there isn’t a real lot of archive material in the Everclear vaults. “There is some live stuff but not like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard,” he says. “They are always recording. And they fucking sell. Hundreds of thousands of people are just waiting. They are awesome. It is inexplicable. If someone gave you a model like that no-one who say that would work. They go to work every day to their studio and they record”.
Art Alexakis is on a solo tour of Australia and giving fans a full-tilt Everclear setlist.
