November 18 2014 9:00PM doors -- music at 10:00PM ••• 21 AND OVER $20 Songs & Stories - An Evening with Art Alexakis of Everclear Art Alexakis twitter.com/artalexakis everclearonline.com/ Alternative rock, post-grunge, cowpunk Art Alexakis -Arthur Paul "Art" Alexakis (born April 12, 1962) is best known as the American singer, composer, and guitarist of the rock band Everclear. He is of Greek ancestry. He has been a member of several notable bands, in addition to his own work as a songwriter for other artists. Alexakis founded several record labels throughout his career, and worked as an A&R representative for major record labels, between and during his own musical projects. Later he became a political activist, and lobbied for special concerns which included drug awareness policies, and support of the families of the military. Along with the band Everclear, he performed for soldiers stationed in Cuba. His political involvement continued to expand, and Alexakis campaigned for the bid of former candidate John Kerry for the position of President of the United States. -Art Alexakis: Fans should expect a whole lot of rock & roll. I go in and out of different types of genres that I like, but it always comes back to guitar, bass & drums – rock & roll. And I think the alternative music of the 1990s was a bunch of kids like me that grew up listening to rock radio back in the ‘70s – Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, KISS, stuff like that. And then it evolved through punk rock, New Wave, the ‘80s indie stuff like the Replacements, Husker Du, the Pixies, Jane’s Addiction…and I think that’s what helped create the sound of the ’90s. Because that’s basically what we are – singer/songwriters playing big, heavy guitar songs. But with melody and a little bit of noise for good measure. So with that in mind, what you’re going to hear is a bunch of ’90s bands, I mean – my criteria has always been to have bands from the ’90s that had huge, iconic hits but at the same time are still real bands. These bands are bands that still tour and put out records, there’s none of those bands coming out of retirement to play this tour and make enough money to pay their mortgage. That’s not what’s going on. |
