Everclear will bring its Sparkle and Fade 30th Anniversary Tour to Drifters Wharf in Gosford on Monday, November 24.

One of the leading alternative rock bands to emerge from the ‘90s led by vocalist, guitarist and founder Art Alexakis, Everclear will play the entire Sparkle and Fade album.

The platinum-selling, major-label debut album had a massive impact in 1995 with its chart-topping hit Santa Monica, making Everclear a household name.

The acclaimed collection – also featuring the singles Heroin Girl and Heartspark Dollarsign – has been hailed as “a must have for any fan of pop-punk”.

The Rolling Stone Album Guide said “Sparkle and Fade was everything a radio-ready rock record should be: explosive, soul-searching, belligerent”.

“Sparkle and Fade was not the first album I had made, but it was the album I had wanted to make my whole life,” Alexakis said.

“It changed everything for me and Everclear.

“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 – 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.”

Alexakis (vocals, guitar) is joined by Davey French (guitar), Freddy Herrera (bass) and Brian Nolan (drums).
